Art, cheese weighing house and city stories in the historic Catharina Gasthuis.
In the centuries-old Catharina Gasthuis behind the Sint-Jan, you wander past Gouda pottery, altarpieces and modern art. Changing exhibitions continuously uncover another piece of the city's history. Afterwards, settle in at the museum café or the quiet monastery garden.
