The most interesting things about Baarle are the Enclaves. Without the enclaves you probably never had heard of Baarle-Hertog and Baarle-Nassau.
On these pages we give you some historical information about our village Baarle. We talk about Baarle because in fact the people of Baarle live in Baarle as one community, despite the fact the village is divided over two countries.

On these pages we give historical information, three documents which played a major role in the history of Baarle and some maps and photographs to complete the picture.
