Cross the Sint Jans’ brug (Bridge of St. John), and have a look at the 13^th century Dark Lock, the oldest lock in town.

Turn left on to de Westhaven. Take a look at the facades at either side of the canal: the Museum Gouda (Catherina gasthuis, 17^th Century hospital) and it’s chapel. At the right the patrician’s house Het Dubbeld Ancker, former tobaccoshop De Moriaan in Dutch Renaissance-style, and sociëteit Concordia (Roman Catholic gentlemen’s club).
