At the left you’ll see the Barabaratoren (St. Barbara’s tower), a last remainder of a 15th century monastery.  Opposite the tower take a look at the historical shop De oude Bezem- en Borstelfabriek van de fam. Anders (Family Anders’ old Broom en Bristle Factory). Take a peak at the back of the Gouwekerk a little further on through the Saffraanpoort. At the right Gouda Syrup waffels are still produced and at the left the fomer Gouda Pipe makers ‘Van der Want’ were situated.
