Other beguinages in Belgium
Diest
The beguinage at Diest was founded in 1252. In these pictures you can
see how the houses were built against the church (photographs by Michel Fischer,
in: Weyergans, pp.101, 98, 94).

This beguinage is interesting in that Thomas Beckett, archbishop of Canterbury, came here on his flight from Henry II in 1170.
