Museum · 1 h · Pieter Post's 1668 weigh house, with the history of Gouda's trade and a guided tasting of four cheeses. From €7.50 online.

Gouda's Waag is the public weigh house, with a large relief on the façade showing how cheese was weighed. It was designed in 1668 by Pieter Post, the architect of the Leiden Waag and of the Huis ten Bosch palace in The Hague, and all goods over ten pounds were weighed and taxed here. Inside are the original scales and a museum on the history of Gouda, its trade and its products.
