Cašavica (C<adjavica) is a community in the Virovitica and
Podravina County some 30 km southeast of Virovitica.
Population around 3,000, some 800 in the village of the town
name. The coat of arms is shown on the County web site at
<www.viroviticko-podravska-zupanija.hr>
that also explains that Cadavica was in 1852 granted
the marketplace rights. The coat of arms may have been granted at
the same time. Certainly it look similar in style like many coat
of arms of the agriculturally progressive settlements granted in
the Hungarian part of the Habsburg Monarchy in the time. The
modern artistic layout must have been adopted around 2000
together with a flag, but I do not know it yet. The coat
of arms of Cadavica is vert a rake in pale, a pichfork and a
scythe in saltire all argent and in base a ploughshare or.

The flag hoisted in the County Asembly Hall alowes us to fill
the info. It is red with the coat of arms bordered yellow in the
middle.
As explained before, an other somewhat similar Coat of Arms was
used initially in 1990's, but was replaced recently. That flag
was also hoisted in the County Asembly Hall simultaneously when I
visited it a few weeks ago, probably due to someone forgetting to
remove it.

Coat of Arms and flag were designed by Heraldic Art d.o.o from
Rijeka and approved by the Ministry of Administration/Central
State Office for Administration before 2006.

Coat of Arms
image by Željko Heimer, 17 April 2005
The coat of arms is divided per fess with a bar argent chief
azure a mullet argent and base vert a ploughshare or. I
guess that this coat of arms may have had a history reaching late
19th century (since the style is of the coat of arms granted to
villages in the period in Croatia and Hungary), but it is not
among such examples included in the legendary Coffy Haague album
issued in 1930's [lsv39]
The flag was light blue with the coat of arms in the middle.
