SALDUS TOWN
Region : Kurzeme
Municipality : Saldus
| Latvian |
Zilā laukā sudraba koka pils ar trīs torņiem uz tādas pašas pamatnes. |
| English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1925.
Saldus, initially called Ciecere, is first mentioned in the 13th century. It was a small wooden castle of Kurši or Zemgali in the almost unsettled district. In 1411 Germans built here a castle, Frauenburg, called Sieva by Latvian inhabitants.
The Northern war (1700-1721) and plague destructed the castle and town and left only small manor, later renamed to Saldus. The town revival took over a century. In 1917 town rights were granted.
The arms show a wooden castle, a symbol for the origin of the town.
