View of the Waag on the Nieuwmarkt in Amsterdam

View of the Waag on the Nieuwmarkt (Sint-Antoniesmarkt), also known as the Sint-Antonieswaag, in Amsterdam. Seen from the Geldersekade. On the left in the background the tower of the Zuiderkerk. This weigh house was housed in the former First Sint-Antonies Gate. This fifteenth-century building came within the city after the city expansions at the end of the sixteenth century and thus lost its function as a city gate. In 1617-1618 it was converted into a weigh house. Subject category within the Atlas Amsterdam: Gates, composite sheets, C. St. Antonies Gate.
