Official blazon

Escudo de verde, cruzeteado de ouro, com uma roda dentada de vermelho, contornada de ouro, e uma mó de prata realçada de negro, alinhadas em faixa; campanha de prata carregada de duas burelas ondeadas de azul. Coroa mural de prata de quatro torres. Listel branco com a legenda em maiúsculas de negro : “ SERZEDELO - GUIMARÃES “.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on September 21, 1996.

The crosses refer to the local Festival of the Crosses during the first week of May. The crosses are made of oak, which is a canting symbol (carvalho =oak, which became Cerzedelo).

The cogwheel symbolises industry and progress. The mill-wheel symbolises the historical water mills in the area. The wavy base symbolises the Selho and Ave rivers.
