Villars-sur-Glâne

VILLARS-SUR-GLÂNE

Canton : Fribourg

Origin/meaning

I have no information on these arms.

The previous arms were rather different:

The arms in the Kaffee Hag albums 1914-1960

These arms are those of the former lords of Villars. This family already appears in the course of the 12th century in Villars. It was one of the benefactors of the Hauterive abbey and had a family vault in this monastery, where the arms are also shown. The colors are shown in a 14th century fresco, discovered near the vault. The village thus adopted the family arms in the early 20th century.
