Summary

About the place: Dyjákovice is a market town in Znojmo District, South Moravian Region, Czech Republic, situated in the fertile lowlands of the Dyje–Svratka Valley near the Austrian border. It is a traditionally agricultural and wine-producing settlement located south of the Thaya (Dyje) River.

Flag Description: A yellow field with two crossed black ragged staves (raguly logs), flanked by two addorsed red carps with their heads towards the upper edge. The aspect ratio is 2:3.

Symbolism: The flag is an armorial banner derived from the municipal coat of arms and the market town's historical seal of 1599. The crossed black ragged staves in a gold (yellow) field represent the arms of the Lords of Lipá (páni z Lipé), while the addorsed red carps recall the Lords of Lichtenburg, both of whom were prominent historical owners of the estate.
