Enclave H17 was assigned to Belgium only in 1959. The Belgian cattle merchant Sooi Van den Eynde bought nine supposedly Dutch houses in 1953.

Enclave H18 offers the beautiful nature scenery of the brook valley of ‘t Merkske.

Of all enclaves in the world, the enclave combination H1 and H2 is the only one where two enclaves hit one another in one point!

Enclave H6 is only at 11 metres and 26 centimetres distance from the main enclave H1. In the 18th century these two enclaves formed a single whole.

H7 is the smallest enclave worldwide. It’s as small as one and a half house and part of the backyards.

H8 is the second largest Belgian enclave.

The Belgian enclave H9 is completely absorbed by the premises of Royal Printing Company Em. de Jong.

N1 is the largest Dutch counter-enclave (an enclave in an enclave belonging to another state).

N2 is a Dutch counter-enclave (an enclave in an enclave belonging to another state). It holds eight residences and two stores.

N3 is worldwide the very smallest counter-enclave (an enclave in an enclave belonging to another state).

A town hall cut in two by the border and thus located in two countries? That’s the town hall of Baarle-Hertog.

The main building was built by architect J. de Lint and was inaugurated in 1953.

In Baarle there is one house with two house numbers and hence two addresses: the Belgian number 2 and the Dutch number 19.

This 'Dutch church' has been the parish church of Baarle-Nassau since 1860.

This monument commemorates the inhabitants and the Polish liberators of Baarle-Hertog who died in the Second World War.

War Memorial Miet Pauw is best known in Baarle for her resistance work for a pilot flight line in WWII.
