Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 2009.

The arms are based on the historical seal of the town, see below. The Archbishop of Riga historically had a summer residence here, which is symbolised by the cross and crosier. The boat in the base probably indicates the importance of the two rivers Daugava and Perse for the local community.

The seal of 1560
