Veľky Šariš flag

[Vel`ky Saris flag] by Jarig Bakker, 24 Jan 2001, based on description by Aleš Křižan, 22 Jan 2001

Velký Šariš: four stripes blue - white - blue - white. (The map mentioned shows the same flag for Nováky!)
Aleš Křižan, 22 Jan 2001

Velký Šariš, the  administrative centre  of  former  Šariš county  is situated north of Presov  below Šariš castle. Its history  is linked with the history of Šariš castle. It  is supported by documents of the13th century.  It was, however, built  one century earlier. Since the 19th Century,  there is a modern steam  mill (1853) and since 1967, a well-known brewery here. In the small town the poet Jozef Tomasik-Dumin  lived between  the wars. The castle  has been  in ruins  since 1687. Its captain   in the  16th century  was Juraj Werhner, the autor of the paper "About miracle water of Hungary". The roman  Catholic Church of St.  James goes back to  the second half of the 13th Century. The Gothic chapel is from the middle of the 14th century and the  chapel in  the cemetery  is late 17th century. Šariš castle is a natural protected area.(Info from this website)

Veľky Šariš is 5 km northwest of Prešov in eastern Slovakia. On a hill (550 m) above the place, in the middle of a copse stand the ruins of a medieval castle as old as the 11th century and once the seat of the district administration of Šariš.
