Official blazon

Escudo de prata, cinco granadas de negro incendiadas de vermelho; bordadura de azul, carregada de flores-de-lis de ouro, uma em chefe e duas em faixa e três rosas de vermelho folhadas de ouro, duas em chefe e uma em ponta. Coroa mural de prata de três torres. Listel branco, com a legenda a negro, em maiúsculas : “ VIMEIRO - LOURINHÃ “.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on July 2, 1996.

The grenades refer to the local battle on August 21, 1808 between the Anglo-Portuguese troops and the French. The rose symbolise the stay of Queen Isabel in the village. A rose was chosen as her symbol for het goodness.

The fleur-de-lys are a French symbol, and indicate that the village was founded by Frankish settlers.
