The upper half of the arms shows accurately the old castle of Sint-Joost-ten-Noode, built and used by the Dukes of Burgundy in the 14-16<sup>th</sup> century. The lower half shows a beggar's bag.

The lower left half shows a bunch of grapes, symbol for the vineyards that used to be in the area. | The upper half of the arms shows accurately the old castle of Sint-Joost-ten-Noode, built and used by the Dukes of Burgundy in the 14-16<sup>th</sup> century.
