KACHTEM
Province : West-Vlaanderen
Incorporated into : 1977 Izegem
Official blazon
Gevierendeeld 1 en 4 van azuur met drie omgekeerde plompebladeren van goud; 2 en 3 geschuinbalkt van goud en van azuur, van zeven stukken met een zoom van keel, over alles heen van zilver met een leeuw van keel met een zoom van azuur - het schild getopt met een kroon met negen parels welke rechtstreeks op de kroonband zijn geplaatst.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on September 29, 1952.
The arms are based on the arms of Filip-Norbert van der Meere, who became Lord of Kachtem in the early 18th century and was promoted to the rank of Count of Kachtem in 1741. His family remained in possession of the estate until the end of the 18th century and thus were the last Lords of Kachtem.
The arms show in the first and fourth quarter the arms of the Van der Meere family, showing three water lily leaves. The second and third quarter show the arms of the Wedergraet family, added to the arms of the family in the 16th century through marriage. The escutcheon shows the arms of the Thienne family.
