Fehérgyarmat

About the place: Fehérgyarmat is a town in eastern Hungary, located in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County near the Ukrainian and Romanian borders. It serves as an important economic, cultural, and administrative center for the Fehérgyarmat District.

Flag Description: The flag consists of a white rectangular field with the town's coat of arms centered. Above the shield is the black uppercase inscription 'FEHÉRGYARMAT'. The shield is party per pale: the dexter side (left from the viewer's perspective) is divided per fess, featuring an upper green field with three silver (white) dragon teeth growing from a red base (the Báthory family crest) and a lower blue field with three wavy silver (white) bars. The sinister side (right from the viewer's perspective) shows a blue field with a silver (white) church tower standing on a green base.

Symbolism: The three dragon teeth in the green field represent the historical coat of arms of the prominent Báthory noble family, which played a major role in the region's history. The wavy bars in the blue field symbolize the local rivers (notably the Szamos and Túr). The church tower refers to the historical local Calvinist church, serving as a landmark and a symbol of the town's spiritual heritage.
