DEERLIJK
Province : West-Vlaanderen
Official blazon
In zilver een keper vergezeld van tien blokjes, drie rechts en drie links geplaatst 2 en 1 en vier in den schildvoet geplaatst 1, 2 en 1, dit alles van keel.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on July 29, 1937.
The arms are derived from the arms of the Costere family, Lords of Deerlijk mentioned in the 15th century. As these are the oldest known Lords of Deerlijk, the local council applied to be allowed to use these arms as municipal arms. The arms are derived from an engraving in a tomb in the local church.
