About Baarle-Nassau
Baarle-Nassau is a municipality and town in the southern Netherlands, located in the province of North Brabant. The town is the site of a complicated borderline between Belgium and the Netherlands: it encloses 22 small exclaves of the Belgian town Baarle-Hertog, of which the two largest contain seven counter-enclaves of Baarle-Nassau, and the main body of Belgium contains another.
