Summary
About the place: Býškovice is a Moravian village and municipality in Přerov District in the Olomouc Region, located about 9 km south of Hranice in the gently rolling agricultural landscape of the Sub-Beskidian Foothills. It is a quiet rural community with historical roots dating back to the 14th century.
Flag Description: The flag consists of two vertical green stripes at the hoist and fly, each one-fourth of the flag's length wide. Between them is a field divided diagonally (per bend) into yellow upper and red lower parts, surmounted by an upright white column. The ratio of width to length is 2:3.
Symbolism: The white column derives from the village's historical 18th-century seal and evokes local wayside shrines and crosses. The yellow-and-red diagonal division reflects the heraldic colours of the House of Dietrichstein, the long-term lords of the domain, while the green stripes represent agriculture, rural heritage, and the surrounding countryside.
