Europe is a very interesting continent by having beautiful and unique countries that are rich in tradition and style. When you come to explore the continent and its countries, you cannot help but notice their uniqueness and style through their structures such as buildings, homes and even roads. European countries have a lot in common and one of those is their flags which are usually in tricolors.
The flag of Luxembourg is one of the best examples of a European flag. It is designed with three stripes with colors of blue, white and red equally placed in horizontal manner. Other European flags have equal tricolored stripes but in vertical position. Talking about Luxembourg’s flag, it was first used in 19th century and was adopted on the 23rd of June in 1872, over 100 years later. And similar with other countries, Luxembourg has no flag to represent them not until 1830. Although the flag was designed in 1848, it was not officially adopted.
Luxembourg’s flag is often mistaken with the flag of Netherlands because of its design and the only difference is the shade of blue stripe in which the latter has darker shade. It can be not that too obvious not unless it is observed during daytime. Other than that, it is a challenge to determine the difference.
Similar with the flags of other countries the flag of Luxembourg is a respectable item that symbolizes the country. There are traditions that must be followed when displaying the flag for public and private use.
