Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on October 6, 1819 and again on November 30, 1840.
The origin of the lion in the arms is not known. The two supporters indicate that in the early 19th century the village belonged to the St. Gomarus parish in Herenthout and St. John Baptist was the patron saint of the local school.
The arms from 1819 |
The arms in the Koffie Hag/Café Hag albums +/- 1930 |
