A city in Europe

Question

I'm a cheesy city, containing auk but in the main language of the country I'm in. I have a sports team that got crowned champions of my country twice. Also placed within me is a museum dedicated to a band that once tried to remake The Lord Of The Rings.

I would say it's

Alkmaar, Netherlands

I'm a cheesy city

One of the greatest cheese markets in the world is in Alkmaar.

Containing auk but in the main language of the country I'm in.

Thanks to @LordofDark and @MichaSprengers: "auk but" in Dutch is "Alk Maar"

I have a sports team that got crowned twice.

The local football team AZ Alkmaar won the national championship twice, in 1981 and 2009

Also placed within me is a museum dedicated to a band that once tried to remake The Lord Of The Rings.

There is a museum dedicated to the Beatles, who unsucessfully tried to adapt The Lord Of The Rings.

'Auk but' = Alk Maar = Alkmaar – Micha Sprengers Apr 20 '16 at 08:27
Haven't thought it was like this. Thanks @Lordofdark and MichaSprengers – Shkeil Apr 20 '16 at 08:33
Is it really a city though? I would have thought of it as a town. – Mr Lister Apr 20 '16 at 15:08
@MrLister According to Wikipedia, it's a city. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkmaar – Micha Sprengers Apr 21 '16 at 07:26
