Denmark Flag

The national flag of Denmark, known as the Dannebrog, is one of the oldest national flags in the world and a powerful symbol of Danish heritage and pride. It features a red field with a white Scandinavian cross that extends to the edges of the flag; the vertical part of the cross is shifted toward the hoist side. According to legend, the Dannebrog fell from the sky during the Battle of Lyndanisse in 1219, inspiring Danish troops to victory. The red color represents bravery and strength, while the white cross symbolizes Christianity. Officially adopted in the 14th century, the Dannebrog remains a cherished emblem of Denmark's history, culture, and unity.
