SOGN OG FJORDANE PROVINCE

Incorporated into : 2020 Vestland

Coat of arms (crest) of Sogn og Fjordane
Official blazon
Norwegian

På sølv grunn tre blå spissar mot venstre.

English blazon wanted

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on September 23, 1983.

The arms show the geographical situation in the province; three large fjords protruding into the land. The three fjords are the Nordfjord, Sunnfjord and Sognefjord. As nearly all villages and towns are situated on one of these fjords and the name of the province is based on the fjords, the symbolism is obvious.
