Flag Description: On a blue field, a eagle per pale white and red, with yellow armed, a red tongue and a yellow trefoil perizonium across its breast and wings. The white half is on the left from the viewer's perspective (heraldic dexter) and the red half is on the right (heraldic sinister).
Symbolism: The eagle per pale white and red in a blue field is derived from the historical coat of arms of Mšeno. This motif references the lords of Lichtenburg (a branch of the Ronovci family), who bore a split eagle on their coat of arms and ruled the town in past centuries.
