From Wikipedia:

Some houses in the town of Baarle-Hertog/Baarle-Nassau are divided between the two countries. At one time, according to Dutch laws restaurants had to close earlier. For some restaurants on the border this simply meant that the customers had to move to a table on the Belgian side.

The border goes through some houses as well, and the country you're in is deemed as which side of the border your front door is on. Apparently there has been a house or two that moved their front door across the border, in order to benefit from lower taxes or somesuch.
