Flag of Limburg

In the flag there is a symbol of the red Limburgian lion with a double tail, facing the flagpole. The smaller blue middle row is symbolizing the Meuse River.

This flag is not used in Belgian Limburg, which has its own, different, flag.

Flag of the new Duchy of Limburg (1839-1866) was very similar to that of the present-day Dutch Province.
