The Beguinage of Anderlecht is located near (and to the north) of the Collegiate Church of Saints-Pierre-et-Guidon in Anderlecht , in Brussels ( Belgium ). Founded in 1252 , and never very important, it was suppressed during the French Revolution .

The Anderlecht Beguinage , one of the smallest in the southern Netherlands , was founded in 1252 . Statutes of 1611 recall that only 8 women (of respectable age) can occupy it. The surviving buildings (2014) date from 1634.

In the xviii ^th  century a Beguine , Isabelle de Wit enjoyed a certain notoriety thanks to free education it dispensed to poor girls Anderlecht, despite the ban on the canons of the collegiate, but with the support of the aldermen of the municipality. The French Revolution put an end to the presence of the Beguines. The buildings became offices of charity.

In 1930 , a museum was created there to bring back to life the daily life of the Beguines and the history of Anderlecht . It consists of two houses once occupied by beguines, one of the xvi ^th and the other from the xviii ^th  century , built around a courtyard.
