Esztergom is located in Komárom-Esztergom County. It was the
capital of the former Esztergom County till 1920 (The northern
part of the county like Komárom county, annexed to
Czechoslovakia by the Treaty of Trianon) and 1938-1944. The
southern part of Esztergom County was unified with the southern

I saw 5 flags in Esztergom in summer, and I saw them today
again. They are:
The Hungarian National flag
The red-white stripes like the 1941 Historical
Flag - the light red is the correct version.
The red-white stripes with the Coat of Arms of Esztergom (see
above)
A white flag with the old Hungarian Coat of Arms (Árpád
Stripes) (See: Flags in use)
A white flag with the old Hungarian Coat of Arms (The Silver
Cross on the Green Hills) (See: Flags in
use).
