Symbolism: The motif of a half golden horse rampant with a red bridle is derived from the ancestral coat of arms of the Malovec of Malovice noble family, who held the Dříteň estate in the 15th and 16th centuries and built the local fortress. The blue and red divided field forms the community's distinct heraldic background.
