Summary
About the place: Kamenice nad Lipou is a historic town situated in the Pelhřimov District of the Vysočina Region in the Czech Republic, located along the Kamenice River. It is renowned for its chateau and the centuries-old monumental linden tree in the chateau park, after which the town is named.
Flag Description: A blue field with a white vertical stripe along the hoist bearing four square embattlements projecting into the blue area. The white area occupies one-third of the total flag area. The ratio of width to length is 2:3.
Symbolism: The white embattled stripe with four square merlons derives from the municipal coat of arms, symbolizing the town's medieval fortifications and defense status (historically known also as Hražená Kamenice). The blue field represents the Kamenice River as well as the historical ties to the Lords of Stráž (a branch of the Vítkovci family bearing a blue rose), who held the domain in the Middle Ages.
