TILDONK

Province : Vlaams-Brabant
Incorporated into: 1977 Haacht

Official blazon

Een ovaal schild, van keel met tien aaneengesloten en aanstotende ruiten van zilver 3, 3, 3 en 1 geplaatst - het schild door twee omziende griffioenen van goud gehouden en getopt met een kroon met drie fleurons door twee groepen van drie parels gescheiden.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on June 12, 1967.

The arms are those of the last Lords of Tildonk, the Counts of Lalaing. There are no historical selas of the village known, so the arms were taken from a seal of Maximiliaan-Karel van Lalaing on a document from 1787.
