What people say
"Begijnhof in Amsterdam originated in the 14th century as a community for Beguines, single women devoted to a religious way of life. Today, the court yard is still home to a tranquil residence, now occupied by a mix of single women, private individuals, and the English Reformed Church.
Explore the inside of Begijnhof and discover the old Chapel, that owns one of Amsterdam's oldest wooden facades. The Chapel keeps the secret
of Amsterdam's Miracle.
Just around the corner, you'll find a collection of Amsterdam Stone tablets. Learn about the history of
these stones and their significance in
