    The Waaggebouw in Enkhuizen shows an image of the early Renaissance in the northern Netherlands. Even the original weighing mechanism of the weighing hall has been preserved. From 1636, the surgeon's room was located on the first floor, also a meeting room and lecture hall for the surgeon's guild. The stained-glass windows of this room bear the names of the surgeons and doctors who worked in Enkhuizen between 1639 and 1654.

    The building dates from 1559.
    You will find the building on the corner of the Waagstraat and the Kaasmarkt.


    In 1636, the space on the first floor was made available to the guild of doctors and surgeons, of which Zacheus was one of the founders. The space, now known as the Surgery Room, has been decorated and decorated by the guild and is still completely in 17th century condition. One of the stained glass windows is funded by Zacheus and shows his family crest. In 1640 Zacheus had four surgeons make a large painting for the room, showing the five people during an anatomical lesson. The painting disappeared from Enkhuizen in later times.
      Very nice buildings around the market square.
