Official blazon

Sarkanā laukā pāļa veidā trīs melni kurmji ar zelta ķepām un sudraba nagiem.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 2001.

The arms refer to the Prussian family Von der Mohlen, who acquired the Višķi manor in 1621 and built the first catholic church there. They thus have been important for the development of the village. The arms are thus partially canting for the family.
