Summary
About the place: Milotice is a municipality in the Hodonín District in the South Moravian Region of Czechia, famous for its grand Baroque chateau with French gardens and a rich winemaking heritage.
Flag Description: The flag consists of six horizontal stripes: a broad blue top stripe followed by alternating three green and two white narrow stripes. In the hoist side of the blue stripe (left from the viewer's perspective), a white Pegasus with a yellow crown, yellow hooves, and a red tongue issues from the upper green stripe.
Symbolism: The white Pegasus is derived from the coat of arms of the Serényi family, longtime owners of the Milotice estate who were responsible for the grand Baroque transformation of the chateau. The blue, green, and white colors represent the local landscape, ponds, and lush chateau gardens.
