Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The arms are officially granted on August 4, 1998.

The arms are based on the old seal of the Forgac family, who ruled the village for a long time. The escutcheon of their arms showed a rising queen flanked by two crescents. The present arms show a simplified image of this escutcheon in different colours to distinguish the arms from those of the family.
