HOLMESTRAND
Province : Vestfold
Additions : 1964 Botne
Official blazon
På rød bunn en sølv, flakt ørn som i høyre klo holder et gull anker og i venstre en gull æskulapstav. I blått hjerteskjold en sølv fregatt.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on November 14, 1898.
The eagle in the arms is derived from the arms of the merchant Johan Heinrich Tordenskiold, who, in 1819, donated all his fortune to built a school in Holmestrand. The eagle also gave its name to the main ship of the merchant, which is shown on the breast-shield, the White Eagle. The anchor symbolises the importance of Holmestrand as a harbour town. The snake is the symbol of medicine and symbolises the former health spa in Holmestrand, in the 18th and 19th centuries.
 The arms in the Coffee Hag album +/- 1930 |
