Heraldry of the World Civic heraldry of Belgium - Belgische Gemeentewapens / Armorial de Belgique |
|
BELLEM
Province : Oost-Vlaanderen
Incorporated into : 1976 Aalter
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted or adopted in 1828 but no formal record exists, so the arms most likely were never officially granted.
The arms show a canting bell. The chief shows the arms of the Netherlands, as in 1828 Belgium was still part of the Netherlands.
Literature : Servais, 1955
