Serooskerke village

Serooskerke is a village in the municipality of Veere in Zeeland province.
It has a flag since ? (the old board of the village society has disappeared and the new one has forgotten). The flag was made
spontaneously by order of the old board by an inhabitant of Zierikzee.
There are two flags in existence. They measure 160 x 95 cm. The image is the coat of arms of the Van Tuijl van Serooskerke family, the former manor lords of Serooskerke. They are not the original colors. On the flag the field is blue and the dog's heads (beagles) golden.
An image of the flag can be seen at this website (photo # 22a).

Serooskerke's name was derived from 's Heer Aldereskerke (church of Lord Alderes), colloquially known as Sraaskerke. Nickname: "Dubbelhartigen" - double-dealers, people talking with two mouths.
