PŘESTANOV
Province: Usteckyý Kraj
District (Okres) : Ústi nad Labem
Official blazon:
V modrém štítě stříbrná socha bohyně Niké.
Origin/meaning :
The arms were registered on February 17, 2006.
The arms most likely refer to the Battle of Kulm in 1813, between the armies of France and the anti-Napoleon Allies (Austria, Prussia, Russia) near the village. The battle was won by the allies and thus probably Nikè, the goddess of victory was chosen as a symbol.
