The Flemish barn group is a historic, aisled, group of barn types in a small region in the Netherlands including the west of the province of North Brabant, part of Zeeland, and on the islands of South Holland.[1]. Flemish barns are believed to have developed in the 17th century.
Defining features are:
The Flemish barn may just be used for crop storage, crops and animals, or a housebarn and likely developed from the longhouse. The walls of the barn are often tarred black wood but they can also be made from brick. The roof is usually covered with thatch.
In contrast, the Zeeland barn group has the barn doors on the sidewalls making the access to the barn in the direction of the bays.
