Origin/meaning

The oldest known seal of Lund dates from the mid 13^th century and already shows the wall with three towers. All later seals and arms show the same image. The arms were officially granted in 1913 and confirmed in 1975.

A city wall is a common symbol for medieval cities, but Lund never had a brick wall, only a wall made of sand and trees !
