Arms of Langå

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The arms were adopted in 1961 by the then Langå-Torup-Sønder Vinge municipality.

The blue wavy bend symbolises the Gudenå river, marking the southern border of the municipality. The three crosses with a heraldic fountain symbolise the three holy wells in the municipality, and at the same time the three villages. The tree trunk is derived from the arms of the medieval Middelsom county seal, in which the present municipality is situated.
