O as in Oudewater, the Netherlands..
Oudewater is famous for the Heksenwaag (Witches' scales). Go here for more info.
This Weighing house, an official town building, became famous during the 16th century because people accused of witchcraft were offered an honest chance of proving their innocence. In many cities and countries such trials were usually rigged, resulting in the burning or drowning of hundreds of innocent people.
