Neuchâtel
cantonstricolorcrossgreen
The flag of Neuchâtel is horizontally divided into three stripes: green (top), white (middle), and red (bottom), with a white cross in the top green stripe. The tricolor design was adopted after the republican revolution of 1848, when Neuchâtel became the last canton to abolish its monarchy. The green represents freedom, white stands for neutrality, and red symbolizes the people's sovereignty.
Neuchâtel was the last Swiss canton to become a republic, as it was simultaneously a Swiss canton and a Prussian principality until 1848.
Adopted: 1848
