The Waag in Alkmaar is a building on Waagplein that was used as a chapel and weigh house. Today, it houses the Dutch Cheese Museum and the tourist information office. The building features a tower with famous equestrian statues and a beautiful carillon. It was declared a national monument in 1969. The cheese market takes place on Waagplein during 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.
