About this audio guide
This guide to the Beguinage in Antwerp follows the money behind a walled village of red-brick houses, from the devout women who rebuilt it in the fifteen-forties and earned their keep by nursing and textile work, to the owners who must keep it standing today. It turns on a modern question: who pays for a place like this once its founders are gone? Best heard in the central garden, facing the low doors.
