Swedish Flag: A Must-Have for Every Household! The Symbol of Sweden!

The world's second oldest flag, after Denmark's "Dannebrog." Historians debate when and how Sweden's flag came into existence, but it's believed to have emerged in opposition to the Danish banner. This occurred during the reign of the Swedish medieval king Karl Knutsson Bonde in the mid-15th century. The first official description dates back to a royal decree in 1562. The cross symbolizes Christianity, while the origins of the colors remain somewhat unclear. Up until the 19th century, the common people had scarcely seen the Swedish flag since private flag use was rare. After the dissolution of the union with Norway in 1905, hoisting the Swedish flag became a status symbol to express support for Sweden.

In 1982, according to Swedish law, it was no longer an offense to forget to take down your Swedish flag during unauthorized times. We find this delightful!

Tips for Flags and Pennants

There are no universal regulations governing flag usage. However, there are traditions and unwritten rules that are customary to follow. Each flagpole should bear both a flag and a pennant, as a bare flagpole is considered improper etiquette.

Flagpole and Pennant Size

An age-old guideline suggests that the flagpole should be one-third taller than the building. In modern times, this translates to the flagpole being 3-4 meters taller than the structure.
Position the flagpole against a serene backdrop.
The length of the flag should be one-quarter of the flagpole's height!
