The arms show St. Clement with the anchor and St. Paul with the sword, the two patron saints of the local cathedral. In some old versions of the seal and/or arms, the two saints are holding oars. This is due to a misunderstanding of the city name as Åre-hus, oar-house. Actually it is from Å-os, or river mouth. Two later, smaller, seals only show the oars, either free, or in an oar-house. | The arms show St. Clement with the anchor and St. Paul with the sword, the two patron saints of the local cathedral.
