The Waag building is a grade II listed building on the waagplein in Alkmaar. On the waagplein is the cheese market. The Dutch cheese museum and the tourist office are located in the building....... On the facade of the Waag allows the following spell: "ABLATAE BILANCIS RESTITVIT VIRTVS SPQA JVRA". This means approximately: "courage and strength donated to Government and citizenry of Alkmaar the lost waag right again". By heroic action by the population of Alkmaar during the relief of 8 October 1573 donated the spiritual power the Waag back to the citizenry of Alkmaar. #alkmaar #cheese_museum #de_waag #dutch #Dutch_cheese_museum #holland #kaasmarkt #museum #ono_collection
