JUNE 12, 2025 — The town of Asperen in the Netherlands has introduced a new official flag, drawing on its historic city seal dating back to the 18th century, Het Kontakt reports.
The design features the medieval city silhouette, centred on a gatehouse with five towers. The middle tower proudly displays the coat of arms of the Lords of Arkel, the city’s founders.
Each tower’s pennant points rightward, a deliberate nod to progress.
“We wanted a flag that’s worth the investment. This flag will last a lifetime, just as you would expect from a true Asperen initiative,” said Theo Witjes, chairman of Vereniging Oud Asperen.
