Klanjec is a city in the Krapina-Zagorje County, about 4, 000
inhabitants, however the town of the same name, it capital,
numbers only about 600 inhabitants. It is some 30-ish km
north-west of Zagreb, about 10 km west of Zabok, on border
towards Slovenia, on the Sutla river. As some other cities,
Klanjec was also first a community and was upgraded to a city in
1997.
The Coat of Arms is Gules a pair of antlers
issuant from a semi-wheel or. The coat of arms is inspired in the
Erdödy family coat of arms (cf. the inescutcheom in the Varazdin County coat of arms), who were
imprtant
feudal rulers in the region.
The flag is light blue with the coat of arms in the middle. Most
probably there exists also a ceremonial flag, but I have no info
on it.
The image of the coat of arms is based on the local tourist
magazine Turist plus, 06/2003. thanks to Tomislav Šipek.
Probably the actual coat of arms should be a bit more elaborate,
but the soruce image was rather difficult to follow exactly in my
redrawing. The flag info is from Tomislav, based on his sighting
of the flag in Klanjec.
