Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1925.
Aizpute is known since the 13th century as a castle in the land of Kurši. After the conquest of Kurzeme it was divided between two states: the Teutonic Order and the Kurzeme diocese. Aizpute, called then Hasenpoth in German, became the capital of the diocese. Town rights of Aizpute are first mentioned in 1378. The first arms were mentioned at the same time. These showed a monk or saint with a rosary.
Aizpute got new arms in 1850: a castle gate with tower and Russian flag, see below.
After the independence of Latvia the arms were changed in 1925: gate and tower remained, but the flag was replaced with three stars of the National Arms.Literature:
