About this work
View of the Waag on the Nieuwmarkt (Sint-Antoniesmarkt), also known as the Sint-Antonieswaag, in Amsterdam. This weigh house was located in the former First Sint-Antoniespoort. This fifteenth-century building came within the city limits after the urban 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. Various figures in front of the building. Subject heading within the Atlas Amsterdam: Markets, Trade: C. Veemen, Weigh Houses.
