3 Rectangular Swiss Flag Flying over Lake Lucerne in Lucerne, Switzerland

Since 1889, Switzerland’s flag has been a red field with a large, equilateral white cross. Notice this one is rectangular which is the shape reserved for Swiss boats. Typically, their flag is square which is true of only one other country. The Red Cross flag, which is the reverse of Switzerland’s, was designed to honor them for hosting the first Geneva Convention. In the background are Lake Lucerne and Hofkirche.
