![[Pińczow County flag]](../images/p/pl-sw-pc.gif)
by Jens Pattke, 16 Oct 2001
The Pińczów county flag and CoA are on this
webpage; adopted 26 Jun 2001.

Renaissance shield of light blue (it is a color of Swietokrzyskie Voivodship),
rounded up at the base with the gold horseshoe in the middle. Inside the
horseshoe is a double patriarchal cross and a silver letter "W" at the
right-bottom of the cross. It is a combination of the arms "Debno" (Olesnicki
clan - founders of the city of Pinczow - cross with "W" under its arm)
and arms "Jastrzebiec" (Myszkowski clan - -horseshoe with the cross inside).
Double armed patriarchal cross is the CoA of the
Benedictines of the Holy Cross Mountain and serves as a symbol of Swietokrzyskie
Voividship. Also it is used in the arms of the counties of that Voivodship.
The flag of the Pinczow County is a tautological image of the arms.
