De Waag

Historic riverside weigh house that once controlled the measurement of colonial trade goods

De Waag is the former weigh house on the Waterkant, where goods entering the colonial port were measured before trade. The compact white building is a useful marker of how commerce, taxation, and the river shaped the city.

Its hospitality business and opening status have changed over time, so come for the architecture rather than relying on it for a drink or meal.
