Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on June 23, 1965.
I have no information on the origin or meaning of these arms. Any information is welcome !
The arms below were proposed in 1956.
These arms are a simplified version of the 16th century seal of the village, which shows St. George killing the dragon. St. George was the local patron saint. To simplify the image the dragon is killed by a red cross, the symbol of St. George.
