Denmark

About the flag

The flag displayed is the national flag of Denmark, known as the Dannebrog. It features a red field with a white Scandinavian cross that extends to the edges, symbolizing Christianity. The Dannebrog is one of the oldest flags still in use, with historical mentions dating back to the 13th century, and it’s deeply rooted in Danish culture and identity. Unique to Denmark, the design of the cross has inspired other Nordic countries' flags, including those of Sweden, Norway, and Finland. This shared design reflects a common cultural and historical heritage among these nations. To remember Denmark's flag, think of its simple yet striking colors and the long history that connects it to the legends of Viking Age victories, as the flag is said to have fallen from the sky during a pivotal battle.
