Any other wishes, like a cheese platter with Gouda cheeses from the farmer on arrival, a special wine from the private collection of Erwin (he is also a sommelier) Please let us know when you make the reservation. We want to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

Gouda windows Who walks into the ‘Sint Jan’ falls silent at the sight of the majestic space with the 72 world famous stained glass windows. The experience only gets stronger when you see the wonderful light invade through the 'Dutch Masters'. It is the beginning of an impressive discovery along biblical and historical scenes full of human emotions. Gouda cheese market The GOUDA CHEESE MARKET is a spectacular and historic scene, held every Thursday morning from 7 April to 25 August 2016 (accept on Ascension Day – 5 May). Farmers negotiate over the price with the traders in front of the Weighing House. The deal is still sealed with a handshake, as it has been for centuries. The cheeses are delivered to and from the market on wagonettes. Gouda by candlelight On december 16th Gouda by candlelight takes place. It is a day with many highlights. When it gets dark, there will be no lights, but only candles in the old city center. The highlight of the day takes place between 19.00 and 20.00 o clock on the marketsquare. The mayor will read the Christmas story, the lights on the gigantic tree will be lit and thousands of people will sing along with the Christmas carols.
