Origin/meaning

The arrowheads represent four flint arrowheads found by the armiger in their boyhood years on their family’s ancestral farm (later a settlement was excavated in the same area) as well as a symbol of the four families from which their own family descends. In addition, it symbolizes the armiger’s family unit of husband, wife and two children, as well as the four rules of living that are part of their motto and that they for almost 40 years practiced archery as a hobby. The colours refer to the Danish flag. The tower with red bricks and white cornices symbolizes the fact that the armiger's home is their castle.
