CAMBRON-CASTEAU

Province : Hainaut
Incorporated into : 1976 Brugelette

Origin/meaning :

The arms were granted on May 22, 1909.
The arms are derived from the arms of the Counts of Mastaing de Jauche, the last Lords of Cambron-Casteau in the 18th century. The family acquired the estate in the early 17th century and owned it until 1793. The bar is derived from the older Lords of Jauche (see also the village Jauche)

Literature : Servais, 1955
