The Flag

Sogndal Municipality was created on 1 January 2020 by merging the old Sogndal Municipality with Leikanger Municipality and Balestrand Municipality.

The result of that union are new symbols for the new Sogndal Municipality, but I don't know how that affects the flag.

The abovementioned municipal site explains that the symbol represent a Viking ship. The design is linked with the naval battle of Fimreite in the Sogndal fjord in 1184, fought between King Magnus and King Sverre, who came there with his ships and eventually won.
