Region : Kurzeme

| Latvian |
Sarkanā laukā sudraba mūris ar diviem tornīšiem un vaļēju arku. |
| English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1938.
Priekule is first mentioned in 1483 as a fortified manor, called Preekuln in German. The town started to develop since 1871, when the railway St. Petersburg - Warsaw was built. The Government of Latvia granted town rights to Priekule in 1928.
The arms show a part of former manor fortifications, called Zviedru varti (Swedish gate), built in 1688.
