Origin/meaning

The arms were registered on July 11, 2019.

The sheep is a reference to the town's historical seal, which contained a sheep, likely representing the local pastures kept by the nobility. The palisade symbolises a water fort which used to exist in the now drained marshlands surrounding the municipality. Those marshlands are where the town gets its Czech name and are the reason for the blue colour of the shield.
