Official blazon
- (1878) Tiercé en pal; au premier d'azur à l'effige de St. Laurent d'or accompagné d'un hêtre au naturel, au deuxième d'argent à trois lions de sinople, armés et lampassés de gueules, couronnés d'or; au troisième de sinople à trois têtes de léopards d'argent, lampassés de gueules.
- (1979) Gedeeld in drieën: 1 van lazuur, met beeltenis van Sint Laurentius van goud, vergezeld van een beuk in natuurkleur; 2 van zilver met drie leeuwen van sinopel, geklauwd en getongd van keel, gekroond van goud; 3 van sinopel met drie luipaardenhoofden van zilver getongd van keel.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on March 2, 1876 and confirmed on July 19, 1978.
The arms are based on the seal from the local council from 1730. The first part shows the local patron saint, St. Lawrence and a canting beech (Bocholt is dereived from Beech-forest). The middle pale shows the arms of Jeanne Thérèse , Countess Lannoy, and lady of Bocholt in 1730. The three leopard heads are the arms of the medieval Lords of Bocholt.
