Neutral-Moresnet
1816 - 1919
Neutral Moresnet existed for more than a hundred years. It had the form of a
wedge of cake and was situated south of the present Three-country-point near
Vaals.
It was rightly called a mini state, as it measured only 344 hectares and had
a circumference of 11 km. Originally, there were only 256 inhabitants.
However, for the longest period of its existence it formed a
Four-country-point together with Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.
Read on this site the story of a unique detail in European History.
