Baarschot (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈbaːr.sxɔt] ; Brabantian: Baorschot) is a hamlet in the municipality of Hilvarenbeek in the province of North Brabant in the Netherlands. In contrast to many other hamlets in the Netherlands, Baarschot does have an official built-up area and thus also standard blue town signs. Administratively, it is part of Diessen.

Etymology

The hamlet was first attested as Baescot in 1301. It is probably a compound of an uncertain first element and schot (“enclosed space, fenced-in territory”). [3]

Economy

Although Baarschot has traditionally been an agricultural community, tourism and catering are now also important means of livelihood. There are two holiday parks, a large camping site, and a group accommodation. From 1990 to 1995, Baarschot had a horse tram that took day trippers from the campsites around the municipality.

Nature

The Reusel  [ nl ] flows right past Baarschot. There are still some carrs along this river. The hamlet of Heieind is located south of Baarschot in a heathland reclamation area. The Moleneind leads to the place on the Reusel where a watermill used to stand, called the Achterste Molen ('Rear Mill'). It is mentioned as early as the 15th century but fell into disrepair in the 19th century. The Voorste Molen ('Front Mill') was located in Diessen.
