Waaggebouw

TIME : 2016/2/19 2:30:21

Built as a chapel in the 14th century, the Waaggebouw was pressed into service as a weigh house two centuries later. This handsome building houses the tourist office and the Hollands Kaasmuseum , with a reverential display of cheese-making utensils, photos and a curious stock of paintings by 16th-century female artists.

The mechanical tower carillon springs to life with jousting knights.
