Region : Sjælland
Amt (until 2007) : Storstrøm (until 1970 Præstø)

Origin/meaning
The arms are known from a seal dating from the 14th century, which may actually be even older. It already shows the church, star, moon and goat. The origin of the goat is not quite sure, but it has been stated that the goat is derived from the Klintekongen, a mythological beast or troll roaming the kliffs on the Stevns peninsula.
