Panethos 
Raab, Austria
Baarle Nassau/Hertog, Netherlands/Belgium (the place with the strangest national borders in the world)
These two came to mind without me using a reference. There’s lots and lots more in the index of my European road atlas, but they’re all really small and not worth the effort to post them.

I’m not sure you got the idea about Baarle Nassau/Hertog. Baarle is a town split between Netherlands and Belgium. The Dutch part is called Baarle Nassau, the Belgian part is Baarle Hertog.
It’s the way they’re split that’s unusual. Instead of a simple line defining the border, the town is chopped up into about 20 Belgian enclaves surrounded by Netherlands. Furthermore, there are several Dutch sub-enclaves within the Belgian enclaves.
Here are a couple pages with maps. There’s lots more out there if you google for Baarle.
