Toerisme Turnhout

Grote Markt 44
2300 Turnhout
http://www.toerismeturnhout.be

Turnhout arose at the crossroads of two major trade routes and in the shadow of the hunting castle of the Dukes of Brabant. That castle would have existed before 1110. The hunting past is still reflected in the urban coat of arms with fleeing deer. In 1212 the small community received city rights from Duke Hendrik I of Brabant. At the end of the 13th century the beguinage was founded in Turnhout. In the 16th century, Turnhout had become a rich commercial center, but at the end of the century that function declined again due to war and epidemics. This city is also known as the'playing card city\\\'. In 1826 Pieter Jozef Brepols put Turnhout on the world map by having the first playing cards printed there. The industry soon took off and Turnhout became one of the most important producers of playing cards in the world.

Begijnhofmuseum

Begijnhof
2300 Turnhout

In the Kempen you will find various beguinages with a collection of beguine houses. Beguines were single men and women who were part of a community within the Roman Catholic Church. In this museum you will learn everything about the beguinage in Turnhout. The museum is located in 'Begijnhof 56', an authentic beguine house. Here you can see how the beguines used to live. All objects in the museum were once the property of the Turnhout beguines. A beguin only took the lifelong vow of chastity, but not, for example, of poverty. Poor beguines had to work, while rich beguines could buy whatever they wanted. You can see that in the stuff of the beguines. The old beguine house has been used as a museum since 1953. In addition to the permanent collection, you can also view changing exhibitions in the museum. The museum is open almost every day, except on Mondays. Be sure to take a look to learn more about Turnhout's religious history.
