Origin/meaning
The arms are derived from the medieval seal of the city, which dates from the early 14th century. The seal shows most likely a large church behind a city wall. It has been assumed for a very long time that the church symbolised the local castle Kärnan, but archaeological research has shown that the castle was built after the seal was made. The arms were formally granted in 1916 and redefined in 1946.
