OOSTKERKE
Province : West-Vlaanderen
Incorporated into : 1976 Damme
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on February 25, 1845.
The arms are derived from the arms of the Lords of Oostkerke. The arms are first mentioned in the Gelre roll of arms from the late 14th century. They also appear as arms for the town on the 16th century map of the Vrije van Brugge area.
The same arms are used by the village of Hoeke, but the relation with the Lords of Oostkerke is not clear.
 The arms in the Koffie Hag/Café Hag albums +/- 1930 |
Literature : Servais, 1955
