Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on February 28, 1843.
The arms were mentioned on the 16th century map of Pourbus of the Vrije van Brugge, the territory to which the village belonged. The arms are those, which according to legend, were granted to the St. Andreas Abbey in the town by the Counts of Vlaanderen in the 12th century. Although this is very unlikely, the arms obviously were already used in the 16th century. The true meaning or origin is not known.
The arms in the Koffie Hag/Café Hag albums +/- 1930
Literature: Servais, 1955
