In zwart, een roodgenagelde en getongde omgewende gouden leeuw, vergezeld rechts naar de punt, van de letter V ook in goud.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on April 24, 1912.
The arms show the lion of the Duchy of Brabant, with the letter W the town's initial. The combination already appeared on the oldest seals of the village, dating from 1309, 1424 and 1539. The village was a possession of the Dukes of Brabant until the late 16th century.
