WESTVLETEREN
Province : West-Vlaanderen
Incorporated into : 1977 Vleteren
Official blazon
Van goud met twee sleutels van sabel paalswijs geplaatst en ruggelings afgewend, de baard naar omhoog - het schild geplaatst voor een H. Martinus van Tours, rechtstaand, naar voren gekeerd, gekleed met koorgewaden, zegenend met de rechterhand geheven, het hoofd overtopt met een vuurbol, alles van goud.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on October 31, 1961.
There were no seals or arms known for any of the former estates in the municipality. However, the village and court of Westvleteren received a seal in 1618 from the St. Peter's Chapter from Kassel. The seals showed the arms of the Chapter, two keys. The seal itself has not survived, it is mentioned in the Archives in Brugge.
The supporter is the local patron saint, St. Martin of Tours in a rather unusual composition.
