Boterwaag, Weigh house in The Hague, Netherlands.
The Boterwaag building features a Neoclassical design with visible weighing scales and a brass bell on its facade at Prinsegracht street.
Architect Bartholomeus van Bassen completed the left section of the structure in 1650, with a right extension added in 1681 for additional weighing operations.
The upstairs portion of the building served as a meeting place for the Confrerie Pictura, an association of painters who separated from the Guild of St. Luke.
The right section of the building functions as a cafe, allowing visitors to experience the historical space while enjoying refreshments.
Original weighing scales from 1681 remain visible inside the building, demonstrating the preservation of its commercial heritage.
