点评:The Waag is an old building dating back to the seventeenth century, built in Renaissance style. In the Second World War it miraculously escaped from being bombed with the surrounding parts of the old town being nearly completely destroyed. In summer, in july the Waag forms the beautiful background of the Zomerfeesten, the completely free summer festival that is organised simultaneously with the world famous Four Days Marches.
The Waag and the Grote Markt are the heart of the city of Nijmegen and the many bars, cafes pubs, hotels and restaurant around the Grote Markt are the vibrant and cosy heart of the city. In Spring/Summer you must enjoy this vibrant buzzing place, the terraces completely occupied, looking out on the Grote Markt and The Waaggebouw. Tip: pay attention to the statue of Mariken van Nieumeghen right opposite The Waaggebouw. She is the main character in one of the most famous medieval plays and one of the symbols of the city of Nijmegen.
Walk through the arches and dwell around Sint Stevens church and admire the little Kannuniken-houses (nuns) that lie in the shadow of the church and that have been there for centuries or the magnificent Latin School.
翻译:瓦格楼(Waag)是一座始建于十七世纪的古老建筑,采用文艺复兴风格。二战期间,它奇迹般地躲过了轰炸,而周围的老城区几乎被夷为平地。每年七月,瓦格楼都会成为夏日节(Zomerfeesten)的迷人背景。夏日节是完全免费的夏季节日,与举世闻名的四日游行同期举行。
瓦格楼和大广场(Grote Markt)是奈梅亨市的中心,而大广场周围众多的酒吧、咖啡馆、酒馆、酒店和餐厅则构成了这座城市充满活力又温馨的氛围。春夏两季,您一定要来这里感受一下热闹非凡的氛围,露台上总是座无虚席,可以俯瞰大广场和瓦格楼的美景。温馨提示:请留意瓦格楼正对面的玛丽肯·范·尼乌梅根(Mariken van Nieumeghen)雕像。她是中世纪最著名的戏剧之一的主角,也是奈梅亨市的象征之一。
穿过拱门,在圣史蒂文斯教堂周围漫步,欣赏教堂阴影下几个世纪以来一直存在的小修女院(Kannuniken-houses),或者参观宏伟的拉丁学校。
