Lentvaris - on a red field three golden maple leaves two over
one.
Flag proportions 5:6, fringe is golden, finial is a golden
knob and golden bands.
The charge symbolizes the famous Lentvaris manor (earlier the
property of the Tyszkiewicz counts) and its unique park, designed
by the French architect Edouard Francois Andre. The park is rich
in different species of trees, but predominant are maples. Maples
also are predominant in the town, especially in Klevu aleja
(Maples alley).
