Gouda already had a fish bank in the 15th century. The current fishing banks were established in 1588 and were covered in 1600. The banks were rebuilt again in 1676 and in the 18th century the commissary's house for the supervisor was built. From the Middle Ages until the 19th century, the fish bank on the Lage Gouwe was reserved for the Gouwernaars. There were traders from outside Gouda on the Hoge Gouwe and that bank was also called the "foreign fish market".

Visbanken (Gouda), National monuments in Gouda are two covered galleries, Visbank and Korenbeurs, from 1588 on the Gouwe, where in the past the fish was cleaned and sold. Wikipedia

Hiking

The Visbanken are known for their wide variety of wall plants.
These can be seen on the quay walls along the water.
