De Waag, Damstraat, Haarlem, Netherlands - 5594

The Damstraat is a street in Haarlem, connecting the Spaarne river to the "Lange Veerstraat", "Klokhuisplein" and the "Oude Groenmarkt" behind the St. Bavochurch.
The street is lined with rijksmonuments, most notably the Waag on the right corner, a former weighing house and landmark on the Spaarne, and the fundatiehuis, former home of Pieter Teyler van der Hulst.

The Waag building was designed by Lieven de Key around 1597 and is built with Namense steen from Namur, Belgium. It is the only building in Haarlem that was built this way, and was designed in its day as a landmark that befits an authority. The weigh house masters needed to be able to judge the correct measure of a shipload of grain that was delivered in Haarlem. Inside the large cast iron balance can still be seen. The location of the weigh house was strategically located where the Spaarne river joins the beek, a small canal that according to tradition was used to carry fresh water from the dunes to serve the brewers of Haarlem. Haarlem was known for its beer brewing in the 15th-17th centuries.
