Summary
About the place: Dlažkovice is a small rural municipality situated in the southwestern part of the Litoměřice District in the Ústí nad Labem Region, nestled in the picturesque rolling landscape at the southern foot of the Bohemian Central Uplands. The village is known for its Baroque chateau with an English park and the Church of Saint Wenceslaus featuring a distinct freestanding Baroque bell tower.
Flag Description: The flag consists of a yellow hoist stripe occupying one-third of the flag's length, charged with three faceted red Bohemian garnets in pale, and a blue fly field featuring a white ashlar well with a suspended wooden bucket, topped by two white bells. The aspect ratio is 2:3.
Symbolism: The faceted Bohemian garnets on the yellow stripe represent the historical extraction of pyrope garnets, a traditional craft and geological feature of the Bohemian Central Uplands foothills. The bells commemorate the Church of Saint Wenceslaus and its iconic freestanding Baroque belfry containing a historic late-Gothic bell from 1498. The ashlar well with a bucket symbolizes local water resources and the agricultural heritage of the village. The color scheme reflects the municipal coat of arms granted in 2020.
