flag adopted 14 Jan 2000
The flag of Hořovice is derived from its coat of arms. It was owned by
the lords of Žerotín on the turn of the 13 th and the 14th century. Since
1390 King Václav IV owned Hořovice castle. Later he build another near
castle called "Točník". These families are shown on the town's crest. One half
of it is a Žerotín's eagle and on the other half there are three beams
- one blue and two silver - which are the colours of the Luxemburgs. Source:
