Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: The Begijnhof is one of the oldest inner courts in the city of Amsterdam. A group of historic buildings, mostly private dwellings, centre on it. The buildings in the court are tall, characteristically Amsterdam-style town-houses, emphasizing the court's relatively private character. The Begijnhof is the only court whose houses have addresses bearing the name of the court itself.
In about 1150, a group of women came together to live in a religious community, primarily to look after the sick. These were, in effect, the first ‘Beguines’. The women were not nuns and nor did they live in the seclusion of a convent. They had no founders nor did they make lifelong vows. It is not known exactly when the Beguinage was founded. The first time the word ‘beguines’ was used was in an official document of 1307 found in the accounts of the Bailiff of Amstelland. |
