Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on October 20, 1819, changed on April 7, 1838 and again on December 10, 1986.
The arms from 1818
The arms from 1838
Veurne became a city at the end of the 12th century and was the centre of a large region (Kasselrij) in Vlaanderen. In 1586 the city and the kasselrij were joined under one council. The seals of Veurne showed in the 13th century a plant or flower and on the contra-seals a lion, probably the lion of Vlaanderen. Later contra-seals also showed the plant.
The seal of 1409 showed again a lion. After the merger in 1586 a new seal was used showing arms with on the first half the lion of Veurne and on the second a lion and a saltire, for the kasselrij.
In the middle of the 16th century two versions of the arms were known; a black lion, armed red, on silver, or, as mentioned by Gaillard in 1538, a black lion on gold, with a small trefoil on its chest. Ever since the arms showed a black lion, with or without trefoil.
In 1818 the city received the black lion and trefoil, but now with a red tongue. This was confirmed after the Belgian independence. In 1986 the red tongue was removed and the French War Medal, which the city received in 1919, was added.
