WAAG
Church with a beautiful Renaissance façade decorated with an allegorical fresco illustrating trade and industry
De Waag is a former Gothic chapel dating from 1341, rebuilt and transformed in the 16th century, and whose high crossing tower houses a late 17th-century automaton carillon. Every hour, figures emerge from the chimes to compete (mechanically) in a knightly tournament. On market days, at 11am, a carillon concert signals the end of trading. The east wing of the church (on the canal) features a beautiful Renaissance facade adorned with an allegorical fresco illustrating trade and industry. The building now houses the cheese museum.
