Official blazon

D'azur, à la vierge assise, couronnée, tenant en la main droite un sceptre portant sur le bras gauche l'enfant Jésus également couronnée, soutenant le globe terrestre, le tout d'or.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on March 12, 1875.

The arms show the patron saint of the village and are derived from the only known seal of the village, dating from the 17th century. On the seal St. Mary is accompanied by three angel heads, which were not taken into the arms in 1875.
