The Haagweg is a historic road along the Oude Rijn, forming a continuation of the Noordeinde and the Breestraat. There used to be a lot of commercial activity along the Haagweg, as the d’Heesterboom sawmill still bears witness. Besides several national monuments such as Villa Rozenhof, there are various other historic buildings along the Haagweg, including Huize Ter Wetering and the former home of Nobel Prize winner Heike Kamerlingh Onnes.

Playground and neighbourhood
Haagweg Noord, known locally as the Haagwegkwartier, has a fascinating history. The neighbourhood and Speeltuin Westerkwartier were founded on 6 November 1928, and the playground is one of the greenest in the Netherlands. The first beginnings of the residential area emerged when Leiden grew beyond its 17th-century canal ring in the 19th century. Until then, this part of the Boschhuizer Polder consisted only of meadows, a farm along the Haagweg and, as its main landmark, the Noordman timber yard with two sawmills along the Rijn.
