Summary
About the place: Linkebeek is a residential Belgian municipality with language facilities, located in the province of Flemish Brabant and directly bordering the Brussels-Capital Region.
Flag Description: The flag is divided diagonally from the top hoist corner to the bottom fly corner into two fields—top red and bottom white. In the lower white field near the hoist side, there is a black Moor's head in profile facing left (from the viewer's perspective), adorned with a red headband and red lips.
Symbolism: The color scheme and the Moor's head figure derive from the historical coat of arms of the de Man family, whose members served as lords of Linkebeek in the 17th and 18th centuries.
