Groot Begijnhof......

That same day I strolled through the famous Groot  Begijnhof, a mostly intact, tightly  woven group of buildings built in the 13th century as a safe community  (within a community) for  religious women  who were unmarried. It has been preserved and restored and is still used as university housing (for students and faculty) for those at KU Leuven (translates to Catholic University). I find it incredible that the buildings are still being used and it's just part of the norm for students to  house there during their time at University.
