Location of Great St. Elizabeth Beguinage, Ghent in Belgium

The Great St. Elizabeth Beguinage (Dutch: Groot Begijnhof Sint-Elisabeth), also known as the Old St. Elizabeth Beguinage (Dutch: Oud Begijnhof Sint-Elisabeth) or the Holy Corner, is a beguinage in Ghent, Belgium. It is one of three beguinages in the city – the other two are the New St. Elizabeth Beguinage in the suburb of Sint-Amandsberg and Our Lady Ter Hooyen in the Lange Violettenstraat. Both St. Elizabeth beguinages were named after Elizabeth of Hungary, also known as Saint Elizabeth of Thuringia.
