Summary
About the place: Dačice is a historic town situated along the Moravian Thaya river in the Jindřichův Hradec District, South Bohemian Region, historically part of southwestern Moravia. It is renowned for its Renaissance chateau and as the birthplace of the world's first refined sugar cube, produced here in 1841.
Flag Description: A flag consisting of three horizontal stripes of blue, yellow, and blue in the width ratio of 1:2:1. The overall width-to-length ratio of the sheet is 2:3.
Symbolism: The color scheme of the flag derives directly from the tinctures of the town's coat of arms, which features a blue field with gold (yellow) charges – the crowned letter M and the five-petaled gold rose of the Lords of Hradec (Neuhaus). Blue also alludes to the Moravian Thaya river flowing through the town, while yellow (gold) reflects historical lordly patronage and municipal privileges.
