Gouvy

About the place: Gouvy is a Walloon municipality located in the province of Luxembourg in south-eastern Belgium, near the border with Luxembourg. The area is known for its picturesque Ardennes landscape and tranquil rural character.

Flag Description: The flag consists of a white field featuring the large municipal coat of arms in the center, with the black cursive text 'Commune de Gouvy' written below it. The coat of arms shield is quarterly. In the first and fourth quarters, the left half from the viewer's perspective (heraldic dexter) shows a red field with a rearing white ram, while the right half (heraldic sinister) shows a white field with three black fleur-de-lis (two above, one below). The second and third quarters feature nine alternate horizontal stripes of red and white, overlaid with a golden (yellow) lion rampant with red claws and tongue.

Symbolism: The flag is a logo-style municipal flag displaying Gouvy's official coat of arms accompanied by the municipality's name. The coat of arms combines historical heraldic elements from the former municipalities that formed present-day Gouvy: the quarter with the ram and fleur-de-lis references the house of d'Ouren and the lordship of Steinbach, while the barry fields with the golden lion represent the lords of Lellich and the domain of Beho.
