===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms were granted on April 18, 1847. | |||
[[ | The arms show a cross, derived from the cross of the Knights Templar, and two finches. The finches are a canting symbol for the Vincx Ambacht (Vink=finch). The Vincx Ambacht was a part of the Vrije van Brugge, a large territory surrounding the city of Brugge, but not belonging to the city ([[Vrije van Brugge]] means Freedom-of-Brugge). The area was for a long time in the Middle Ages a possession of the Knights Templar. | ||
Several municipalities in the former Vincx Ambacht use similar arms, which differ only in the number of finches. The different arms were already mentioned on the map made of the [[Vrije van Brugge]] by Pourbus in 1562. The other villages are [[Bredene]], [[Klemskerke]] and [[Vlissegem]]. | |||
