Origin/meaning

The arms show a canting pilgrim on the way to the church of St. John of Nepomuk in the village. The stones on which stands a pilgrim refer to sandstone and the former sandstone mining. The golden fields reflect the agricultural character of the community and the number of fields indicates the number of villages that are part of the municipality. The back shows the Ostrzyca Proboszczowicka mountain, the highest in the area.
