Hollaar
Hollaar is a village located in the municipality of Baarle-Hertog, which is an exclave of Belgium surrounded by the Netherlands. Geographically, it is situated within the province of Antwerp in the Flemish region of Belgium. The unique border situation of Baarle-Hertog, which includes numerous Belgian exclaves within the Netherlands and vice-versa, means that Hollaar's precise territorial designation can be complex. It is part of the larger administrative entity of Baarle-Hertog, which itself is famous for its intricate and often confusing international border. The primary characteristic of Hollaar, like other settlements within Baarle-Hertog, is its direct connection to this exceptionally divided border. The local economy and daily life are influenced by this unusual geographical anomaly. Residents and visitors alike often navigate a landscape where national borders run through streets, houses, and even fields. Hollaar itself is a relatively small settlement, contributing to the rural character of the Baarle-Hertog municipality. Its existence highlights the historical complexities of border demarcation in this region.
