Overview

Anyksciai (Anyksciai District) - field divided wavy per pale white-green-blue approximately 4-1-1, on middle of white field the arms of Anyksciai: St. John of Nepomuk on an arched bridge, arms decorated with branches of laurel and ivy. Flag proportions 1:2, fringe on fly silver, finial is a silver arrowhead and silver bands, staff is green. The arms granted in 1792 should symbolize the recently restored bridge over the Sventoji River, which was destroyed during the Northern War, and the trade of the town suffered badly. The statue of St. John of Nepomuk was built on the bridge.
