Armoiries de Quiévrain

Official blazon

D'or au chef bandé de gueules et d'argent de six pièces.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on December 8, 1992.

As none of the three municipalities that were merged in 1977 had arms, new arms were designed. The arms are taken from the oldest known Lords of Quiévrain from the 11th-14th century. The arms are identical to the arms of the Lords, but without helmet, crest and mantling.
