Country: Belgium  Province: West-Vlaanderen  Incorporated into:
|
| French | D'argent à la crois recercelée & vidée de gueules. |
| English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on June 18, 1845.
The arms show a cross, derived from the cross of the Knights Templar. 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 (canting) finches. 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 different arms were already mentioned on the map made of the Vrije van Brugge by Pourbus in 1562.
The other villages are Bredene, Nieuwmunster and Vlissegem.
