GILDESKÅL

Province : Nordland

Gildeskal.jpg

Official blazon

I blått en sølv kalk.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1988.

The arms are kind of canting since the meaning of the name Gildeskål refers to a guild hall and a cup or chalice was chosen to represent the banquets held in such a hall.

Literature : Norwegian Municipal Network
