I rødt to gull kroner, 1-1.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on February 6, 1987.

The arms show two crowns for the longtime royal connections. King Håkon the Good had a hunting lodge in the area in the 10th century, and the King and the villagers took part on the Battle of Rastarkalv in the municipality in 955. King Håkon VII has visited the village in 1955 at the 1000th anniversary of the battle.

Literature : Norwegian Municipal Network and Norske Kommunevåpen, Kommunalforlaget, 1987.
