Most of the buildings in the beguinage are managed by the OCMW. Some houses are rented out, others are leased. The leaseholders are allowed to live in the houses, but are obliged to renovate them under strict regulations.

The Herentals beguinage is located along the Begijnenvest. The original beguinage from the thirteenth century was located a little over a kilometer to the north, on the Nieuwland on the other bank of the Kleine Nete. This was demolished during the Eighty Years' War. The current beguinage was built in the seventeenth century.
