One door - Two countries!

Two doorbells, two addresses, one house. In Baarle, the border between Belgium and the Netherlands does not just run through streets — in some places, it cuts directly through buildings. This famous house has a Belgian address on one side and a Dutch address on the other: number 2 in Belgium and number 19 in the Netherlands. The unusual border comes from the complex patchwork of Baarle-Hertog, a group of Belgian enclaves surrounded by the Dutch town of Baarle-Nassau. Across the town, white crosses and metal markers show exactly where one country ends and the other begins. Here, even walking to the front door can mean crossing a national border.
