Summary
About the place: Chrastavec is a municipality and village in the Svitavy District of the Pardubice Region, situated in the rolling landscape of the Svitavy Uplands about 14 km south of Svitavy.
Flag Description: The flag consists of three horizontal stripes: the upper stripe per pale red and black, the middle stripe blue charged with three eight-pointed yellow stars, and the bottom stripe yellow serrated, in a width ratio of 4:9:3. The ratio of flag width to length is 2:3.
Symbolism: The red and black division of the upper stripe refers to the historic colors associated with the Saint Wenceslaus eagle. The serrated bottom stripe (representing a palisade in the coat of arms) commemorates the medieval wooden stronghold from the reign of King Wenceslaus I that once guarded the provincial border. The three golden stars symbolize the Holy Trinity, the dedication of the local village church consecrated in 1864.
