Guided tour: frivolous beguines

Discover the festive life of the Diest beguines In 2026, it will be exactly 100 years since the last beguines, Johanna Uitdewilgen and Bernardina Janssen, left the Diest beguinage. Stadsgids Fons Bonroy introduces you to the lesser-known festive side of beguine life. Go on a journey through the Diest beguinage and conclude with a presentation that is particularly easy to digest thanks to unique photo material, authentic recordings of singing beguines, and poetic confessions of a 'scandalous' grandmistress.
