Summary
About the place: Frýdštejn is a picturesque municipality in the Jablonec nad Nisou District in the Liberec Region of the Czech Republic, situated in the northern part of the Bohemian Paradise (Český ráj) and famed for its prominent medieval rock castle ruins.
Flag Description: The flag of Frýdštejn consists of three horizontal stripes of red, white, and blue in a width ratio of 4:3:1. In the hoist half of the upper red stripe, a white lion with yellow claws and tongue walks toward the hoist. The aspect ratio of the flag is 2:3.
Symbolism: The flag is derived from the municipal coat of arms granted in 2004. The passant white lion in the red stripe symbolizes Bohemian heritage and statehood. The lower white and blue stripes represent a vexillological simplification of the castle wall and blue Gothic gateway from the arms, alluding to the landmark Frýdštejn rock castle originally established by the Lords of Biberstein. Together, the three colors reflect the traditional Czech tricolor.
