Description
Beguines are lay sisterhoods made up of women who devote themselves to a life of religion without taking monastic vows. Such communities have existed since the 12th and 13th centuries. They began in the Netherlands, although the origin of the word is uncertain

And I thought the place was owned by Artie Shaw! Like the picture, the touch of red - and was always a sucker for the tune. (I trust you have the years to know what I'm talking about).

Why do I now have "Begin the Beguine" running thru my head??? You have really messed with my brain this time! I think it needed it, so no harm done. Nice image and thanks for the history lesson.
