Flag Netherlands

The Dutch tricolour, national flag of the Netherlands

The flag of the Netherlands, also known as the "Dutch Tricolour", is a historic and distinctive national symbol. It consists of three horizontal stripes of equal width: red at the top, white in the centre and blue at the bottom. The flag was officially adopted in 1937, although its origins date back to the 16th century, during the revolt against Spanish rule.

The colours of the flag each have a historical significance. Originally, the flag featured an orange stripe instead of red, in honour of William of Orange, the leader of the Dutch revolt. Red gradually replaced orange for practical and symbolic reasons. White and blue are associated with the coat of arms of the Orange-Nassau family.

The Dutch flag is a symbol of freedom and independence. It is flown on national holidays, such as King's Day on 27 April, and other important events. It reflects the national identity of the Netherlands and its rich history of fighting for autonomy and civil rights.
