In the center of Amsterdam near Dam Square is the Begijnhof, is the only part of the city dating from the fourteenth century. In this place full of peace, is the oldest house in the city, called Het Houten Huis. In addition the site is very interesting historically because this is where Beghine lived.

XII, were spiritual, but they were not nuns, prayed and worked, but not in convents, not subjected to any discipline, although Catholic had a church on campus, living in small communities and is funded by donations, mostly from upper-class patrons, had no leaders or hierarchies, its sole purpose was to do good.
