On 21 November 1870, the first (lost) airmail in the Netherlands arrived in Castelré. The hot air balloon came from Paris, surrounded by Prussia, with 220 kilos of mail. On the façade of the town hall of Baarle-Nassau hangs a plaque that was placed on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of this event. In 1970, a monument in the shape of a hot air balloon was erected on the territory of Baarle Nassau, in memory of this event.
