Flag Description: A white field charged with a blue double-headed eagle with red armament, bearing a yellow bunch of grapes on its breast and holding yellow fleur-de-lis scepters in both talons. The width-to-length ratio of the sheet is 2:3.
Symbolism: The blue double-headed eagle holding fleur-de-lis scepters derives from the historic seal of Hradčovice used until 1850, an exceptional privilege for a rural village. The golden (yellow) bunch of grapes charged upon its breast symbolizes the local viticultural tradition and is derived from the historic seal of the annexed village of Lhotka. The white (silver) field and blue emblem reflect the tinctures of the municipal coat of arms.
