Architecture series A fine art greetings card showing the entranceway, a narrow corridor with vaulted ceilings, to a courtyard of serenity, just glimpsed beyond.
The courtyard happens to be the Begijnhof, which is one of the oldest inner courts in the city of Amsterdam. It is still home to some "Beguine" in the enclosed group of historic buildings, now mostly private dwellings. The Beguine were similar to but were not nuns; they did not take vows, could return to the world and wed if they chose, and did not renounce their property.
A gorgeous greetings card with a special touch.
