HUKVALDY

Province: Moravskoslezský Kraj
District (Okres) : Frýdek-Místek

Arms (crest) of Hukvaldy
Official blazon
Czech Štít dělený cimbuřovým řezem o pěti stínkách, nahoře stříbrný, dole červený. Nahoře červená liška sedící na dělící čáře, v levém horním rohu doprovázená modrou lyrou, v dolní části čtyři stříbrné kužele.
English blazon wanted

Origin/meaning

The arms were registered on July 15, 1993.

The piles are taken from the arms of the Archdiocese of Olomouc to which Hukvaldy used to belong (the number indicates that the community is composed of four villages), while the lyre points to the musical genius of composer Leoš Janaček who was born here in 1854. The fox is a pun on Janaček's opera, The Cunning Little Vixen. The battlements represent the ruins of the huge episcopal castle overlooking the village.
