Recently, the historical weigh house for cheese in Gouda, the cheese capital of the Netherlands, has become accessible! De Goudse Waag, as it’s called in Dutch, can now welcome disabled visitors who would like to experience a very Dutch tradition!

The house itself is very interesting to visit as it was built back in 1668! The ground floor, which is now fully accessible, is a unique gift shop where you can buy Gouda cheese and much more, like special cheeses and the best cheese slicers! Of course traditional Dutch souvenirs are always a must! The second floor of the building is a museum where visitors can learn about how the famous Gouda cheese used to be weighed and traded here as well as other products.

We think it is great that people with limited mobility can now enjoy this unique, traditional Dutch experience and we are very thankful to the people who run the place for their consideration and decision to built bright yellow ramps for an easy wheelchair access to this small museum!
