Summary

About the place: Jaroměřice nad Rokytnou is a historic town in the Třebíč District of the Vysočina Region, situated along the Rokytná River in the Jevišovice Uplands. It is renowned for its monumental Baroque chateau complex and the adjacent Church of Saint Margaret.

Flag Description: The flag consists of two horizontal stripes, blue and green, in a width ratio of 2 : 1. In the centre, spanning both stripes, lies a brown stag with yellow (golden) antlers and hooves. The width-to-length ratio of the flag is 2 : 3.

Symbolism: The motif of the resting stag on green ground derives from the town's historical seal and coat of arms, connected to a founding legend of Duke Jaromír hunting a majestic stag by a local spring. The blue color represents the sky and the Rokytná River, while the green symbolizes the lush meadow or clearing where the stag rests.
