Montfort former municipality
Marcel van Westerhoven wrote me that the municipality of Montfort in Limburg
province had a flag, before the merger in Ambt Montfort. According to Marcel
that flag is now used as town-flag.
In DerkWillem Visser's "Gemeentevlaggen en wapens Koninkrijk der
Nederlanden", 2001 is the old municipal flag of Montfort: "a yellow
flag with a blue hoist-triangle reaching to flagcenter, charged with a
yellow castle with two towers. Adopted 2 Oct 1990 by municipal resolution".

Granted by Royal resolution 5 Jul 1887.
Description: : "azure a castle of two towers with two crosses, all or,
standing on a mountain or hill of the same."
This is evidently canting: a "fort" (castle) on a "mont"
(mountain)
