The arms were created after the estate was established and were also used by the Lauweryn family. The waves symbolise the water, the star and crescent symbolise the night and dark times, the fleur-de-lis symbolises the fertile reclaimed land. The original arms of the family showed a crest with a siren, but these were not granted to the municipality. The arms were continued by the local council after the Lauweryn family had become extict in 1719. | The arms were created after the estate was established and were also used by the Lauweryn family.
