[2] The motte theory seems to be supported by a protrusion on the north side of the moat on the cadastre map of 1819.

It might have been a small island for a tower house, which preceded the large water castle.

The irregular form of the bailey and the buildings make it very likely that this construction also took place in phases.

[2] On at least three sides, later drawings show that by the 18th century, the façades had been heavily changed to give the impression of a single main building.

His drawing also has the advantage that it gives a recognizable depiction of the church of Baarland, from whence we know the direction that Pronk was looking to.

However, what Hildernisse did not do, or the copyist of his work did not copy, was to take measurements of and or to accurately depict the walls.

In this respect Pronk's work is also not helpful, because the outward façades had clearly been normalized when he depicted Baarland Castle.

South and east of the main building there was a brick breastwork, the remains of the old ring wall.

[3] The same description noted that at a height of 20 feet, the west and south walls of the main building were exceptionally thick.

[1] The current main building on the northeast corner is a former annex of the castle.

[5] In 1296 a Hugo van Baarland was involved in the killing of Floris V, Count of Holland.

Anna van Borselen was the oldest and married Philip of Burgundy-Beveren, who succeeded as Lord of Veere etc.

In 1489 she married Martin II von Polheim dit de Schoonenpoel (d. 1498).

In 1501 Wolfgang and Jeanne gave Fallais back to Archduke Maximilian.

[12] In 1502 Falais was gifted to Baudouin de Bourgogne (c. 1446 – 1508) Lord of Fallais, Peer, Boudour, Sint-Annaland, Lovendegem, Zomergem en Fromont, bastard of Philip the Good.

He was succeeded by his son Maximilian of Burgundy (1514–1558), who left Veere in heavy debt when he died.

Anna of Burgundy was mentioned in the contract as: wife of Jacques Smit Lord of Baarland.

[14] Jacob's daughter Maria married Emmerij van Liere, later governor of Willemstad.

Their son Willem got a hunting lodge near Welsinge, which had belonged to Philippe de Bourgogne.

Their son Jacob divided his grandparents estate with his aunt, and became owner of Baarland Castle.

The de Licques family also sold their part in the lordship, and so Baarland Castle and much of the surrounding land became owned by Johan Cornelis Lampsins (1716-1767).

His daughter Wilhelmina Elizabeth van Kerchem was registered as the owner of the 4334 gemeten 205 Rods lordship.

[24] She brought the castle in marriage to Hendrik van der Heim in Schiedam.

[26] Cornelis Adrianus van Bol'es and Jacobus de Backer from Rotterdam still owned the terrain in 1844.

[25] In January 1855 Bol'es and De Backer sold Baarland for 65,835 guilders to Antonie van Hoboken (1807-1872) from Rotterdam.
