Flag Description: A green field featuring two outward-bent ears of grain, each with a single leaf, alternating between three stemmed lilies with the outer two bent outwards, all yellow. The ratio of the flag's width to its length is 2:3.
Symbolism: The green field and golden ears of grain symbolize the agricultural heritage of the municipality, the fertility of the surrounding landscape, and the traditional livelihood of its inhabitants. The three lilies are Marian attributes representing the local baroque Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, as well as the village's historic ecclesiastical ties (first documented in 1057 in the foundation charter of the Litoměřice Chapter).
