Armoiries de Masnuy-Saint-Jean

Official blazon

De gueules à trois lions d'argent, armés, lampassés et couronnés d'or.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on April 24, 1912.

The arms are based on the old seals of the village, known since the 16th century. All seals show the three lions of the estate of Lens, which, in turn, are derived from the oldest Lords of Lens, the Gavere family. Masnuy-Saint-Jean historically belonged to the estate of Lens, and was later separated.
