Summary
About the place: Kuželov is a village in the Hodonín District in the South Moravian Region, located in the Horňácko ethnographic region at the foot of the White Carpathians. The municipality is best known for its well-preserved landmark, a Dutch-style windmill.
Flag Description: The flag consists of five horizontal stripes of red, yellow, black, yellow, and red in width ratios of 2:1:1:1:2, covered in the center by a vertical blue stripe whose width is two-fifths of the flag's length. The blue stripe bears a white windmill with a red roof, yellow sails, and black door and window, surmounted by a yellow eight-pointed star.
Symbolism: The prominent windmill figure refers to the famous local landmark—the 1842 Dutch-style windmill in Kuželov. The eight-pointed star and color scheme stem from historical seal symbols and traditional folk ornaments of the Horňácko region.
