Official blazon

I fält av silver en röd hjort, gående på röd stam, belagd med nio fembladiga blommor av silver, ordnade fem och fyra.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on December 16, 1949.

The deer is taken from the seal of the local parish from 1685. The shield on the seal was surrounded by flower branches, which is symbolised by the flowers in the base of the shield.
