Indre Fosen Municipality was created on 1 January 2018 by the merger of Rissa Municipality from ex Sør-Trøndelag County and Leksvik Municipality from
Nord-Trøndelag County.
The result of this merger is that the new Indre
Fosen Municipality took over the symbols of the former Leksvik Municipality, but
so far no photo of the flag has been found to confirm this.

Blazon: I grønt en sølv rosekrans. In English: Vert a chaplet of three
quatrefoils argent.
Approved by the royal resolution of 23 January 1987 after a drawing by Oscar
Bergsaune. [c2j87]
The design refers to three previous municipalities united in 1964 (Stadsbygd,
Rissa and Stjørna), as well as to Duke Skule Bårdsson (see drawing from a relief
in Trondheim
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hertugskule.jpg him wearing such
chaplet. [c2j87] says the relief was on his
grave in the cathedral, afterwards moved in the diocesan palace) who owned lands
in Rissa. He erected a monastery and a church in 1230. Also [c2j87]
states that the usual chaplets in the Middle Age had five roses (although
English heraldry usually show them with four!), but Rissa chose to retain only
three that are visible on the Skule's gravestone, to symbolise the unification
of the three municipalities.
