Summary
About the place: Frymburk is a market town in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic (Český Krumlov District), situated on a peninsula on the shores of the Lipno Reservoir in the Šumava region. It serves as a prominent lakeside resort and recreational hub.
Flag Description: The flag of the market town of Frymburk has an aspect ratio of 2:3 and consists of three horizontal stripes of blue, white, and blue. In the center of the sheet is a red five-petaled rose with a yellow center and green sepals, with a diameter equal to one-half of the flag's width.
Symbolism: The red five-petaled rose on the white (silver) field is derived from the historic coat of arms and honors the Lords of Rosenberg (House of Rožmberk), who acquired Frymburk in 1302 and granted it market privileges. The two blue stripes represent water – historically the Vltava River and its vital river ford, and in modern times the Lipno Reservoir surrounding the Frymburk peninsula.
