Gouda Heritage Trail

Gouda’s historical center is defined by its architectural legacy, ranging from the 15th-century Gothic Stadhuis to the 17th-century Waag designed by Pieter Post. This trail highlights the city’s industrial and civic past, featuring traditional corn mills like 't Slot and De Roode Leeuw, alongside the 1609 Lazaruspoortje gateway. The route also includes the 14th-century Barbaratoren and memorials dedicated to the De Houtman brothers and local benefactor A.A. van Bergen IJzendoorn.
