The Waag in Alkmaar is a building on Waagplein that was once used as a chapel and weighing house. The Dutch Cheese Museum and the Tourist Office are now located in the building. The building features a tower with famous horsemen and a beautiful carillon. The building was declared a national monument in 1969. The cheese market takes place on Waagplein in the summer.

The tower with clock is, if you are in the city center, from everywhere to see and hear. The adjacent square "Het Waagplein" is the busiest square in the whole city. In the summer he is full of chairs of the cafes. But not every Friday, because then the famous cheese market takes place on the square.
