Symbolism: The blue field and the yellow saltire (derived from the crossed raguly staff of the Lords of Dauba and the lance) reflect the area's historical nobility, including the Wallenstein family. The white and red horizontal stripes in the hoist partition represent the banner of Saint Wenceslaus, patron saint of the local parish church. The three white roses symbolize the local legend of the knight's three daughters as well as historical regional heraldic ties.
