Summary
About the place: Choustníkovo Hradiště is a market town in the Trutnov District of the Hradec Králové Region, situated southeast of Dvůr Králové nad Labem. It has a rich history tied to the ruins of a medieval castle of the same name.
Flag Description: Two vertical stripes, red and yellow. In the red stripe, a white pair of compasses opened towards the upper edge, above a yellow eight-spoked cartwheel. Width-to-length ratio is 2:3.
Symbolism: The flag is derived from the municipal coat of arms granted in 2022. The white open compasses come from the family coat of arms of the knights Pecingár of Bydžín, who held the domain in the 16th and 17th centuries. The golden eight-spoked wheel on red references the town's historical seal and early seigneurial heritage.
