The Waag (or Weigh-house) in Workum is located about 2Km from the train station, at Merk 4. It is a 17th century building made from traditional red-bricks, Workum was an active seaport until the 18th century, although there are few signs of this history remaining. The Waag now serves as a museum, and holds a collection of nautical items, acting as one of the few reminders of this part of the town’s history.
