Introduction

This little village with about 9200 inhabitants is divided into two communities of two countries: Baarle Hertog (Belgian, 2600 inhabitants) and Baarle Nassau (Dutch, 6600 inhabitants). It was formed at the end of the 12th century thanks to a dispute between the Count of Breda the Duke of Brabant that led to a puzzle that continues to the present time. On Dutch soil, in Baarle and surroundings, are 22 enclaves belonging to Belgium and these Belgian enclaves in turn include 7 Dutch enclaves. Often these boundaries run across houses. The nationality of the inhabitants is determined by the position of the front door. A story tells that a Belgian displaced his front door to avoid getting the Dutch nationality. The border's complexity results from a number of equally complex medieval treaties, agreements, land-swaps and sales between the Lords of Breda and the Dukes of Brabant. Generally speaking, predominantly agricultural or built environments became constituents of Brabant, other parts devolved to Breda. These distributions were ratified and clarified as a part of the borderline settlements arrived at during the Treaty of Maastricht in 1843. In Baarle everything is doubled: two churches, two town halls, two postal offices, two fire stations, two police forces (which are now housed in the same building) and so on. Even if outsiders say that this state would be untenable and the Baarler want to remain this extreme situation in any case, otherwise and they explain, in Baarle nothing more was going on. This place is a good example of two cultures that tolerate each other for almost two hundred years.

What to See

• De Biergrens (Molenstraat 98, Baarle-Hertog / Molenstraat 26, Baarle-Nassau) - The border crosses this beverage shop. As a result, this shop has two addresses, two phone numbers and two cash registers.
• Gierlestraat - Curious assignment of house numbers: When you reach Belgian territory from the Netherlands and the numbering starts over again.
• Cultural Centre Baarle (Pastoor de Katerstraat 5, Baarle-Hertog / Pastoor de Katerstraat 7, Baarle-Nassau) - Again the border crosses the building. This Cultural Centre is used by both communities.

Shopping in Baarle

De grens van Baarle - The Baarle border between Baarle-Nassau and Baarle-Hertog Because of differing legislation the erotic video store is in Baarle-Nassau and the fireworks shops are located in Baarle-Hertog and are open all year round. Shops in Baarle open every Sunday. The reason is that in Belgium stores are allowed to be open every Sunday and Baarle-Nassau relies on its status as a tourism attraction.
