Boterwaag, Weigh house at Grote Markt, Nijmegen, Netherlands
The Boterwaag building features a rectangular brick structure with an upper floor, high gable roof, and prominent stairs adorning its Renaissance facade.
Constructed in 1612, the Boterwaag initially served as a weigh house on the ground floor while the upper level functioned as the main guard room.
The building represents Dutch Renaissance architecture through its design elements, particularly visible in the cross-ribbed vaults supported by three internal columns.
Located at Grote Markt 26 in postal code 6511 KB, the Boterwaag maintains protected status as a national monument under identification number 31137.
The 1886 restoration by architect J.J. Weve included replacing an 18th-century gallery with a replica of the original porch and reconstructing both dormers.
