Veurne became a city at the end of the 12th century and was the centre of a large region (Kasselrij) in Vlaanderen. In 1586 the city and the kasselrij were joined under one council.

Later contra-seals also showed the plant. | Veurne became a city at the end of the 12th century and was the centre of a large region (Kasselrij) in Vlaanderen.
