About the flag

Voss municipality is situated in Hordaland county.

The design of the flag for Voss originates as early as 1961. However, official approval was only granted on 8 July 1977. The arms of Voss were the first municipal arms to be approved in Hordaland since Bergen's in 1924. The design was based on a medieval pattern. A stag is found on the arms of Peter Bonde, known on a seal from 1303. The modern arms of Voss added colours, resulting in a silver stag on red. On the flag used by the municipality the silver is substituted with white. Besides readopting arms with a local history, the deer is also a common animal in the area.
