Official blazon
D'argent à un pont de trois arches du même, maçonné de sable, jeté sur une rivière au naturel dans laquelle est plongé un homme de carnation, la gorge percée d'une épée d'argent garnie d'or, posée en bande la pointe en haut, au lion de sable armé et lampassé de gueules passant sur le dit pont, à la bordure d'argent chargée des mots: POR PASSAR LA PUENTE ME ESPUSE A LA MUERTE, de sable - l'écu sommé d'une couronne à trois fleurons séparés par trois perles posées 1. et 2 et supporté par deux lions de sable armés et lampassés de gueules.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on November 12, 1957.
The arms are those of the Spanish family De la Puente. Bierges has been in the possession of a number of families, among these several Spanish noble families. In 1738 Bierges was inherited by Ferdinand-Joseph Marquis de la Puente. The family owned the village until 1795 and were the last Lords of Bierges.
