BOHUSLÄN
Official blazon
I fält av silver en krenelerad röd fästning, försedd med ett krenelerat rött torn och två portar av guld med svarta gångjärn och lås samt åtföljd till höger av ett blått svärd och till vänster av ett mot fästningen upprest blått lejon med tunga, tänder och klor av guld.
Origin/meaning
The arms were first used for the province in 1660 at the funeral of King Karl X Gustav. The arms show the Bohus Castle, after which the province was named. The whole design was taken from the arms of the city of Kungälv, as the province had become Swedish only in 1568 and no arms had been designed by 1660 when they were needed for the funeral.
