Symbolism: The flag, granted in 2000, derives directly from the town's historic coat of arms, which is based on the heraldry of the noble Zajíc of Hazmburk family who owned the town for centuries. The quarterly division and the tinctures of blue and yellow/gold reflect the arms, while the couped cross in the lower fly quarter directly reproduces the heraldic charge from the fourth quarter of the town's shield.
