Nemunelio Radviliskis (Birzai District) - on red field two
crossed golden cannon barrels with black eagles respectant, above
silver star. Flag proportions 5:6, free edges bordered with
silver rope, finial is golden arrow head with silver bands. The
cartographic star means the Polar star and symbolizes that
Nemunelio Radviliskis is the most northern settlement of
Lithuania. The cannons mean the fort that existed there in
16th-17th centuries (built as far outpost of Birzai castle,
destroyed around 1704), and fierce battles with Swedish army that
were fought there during the Northern war. The eagles are the
main charge of princely Radvila house: they have established and
ruled the town, which is even named after them.
