Incorporated into : 1975 Gent
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on February 1, 1947.
The lion in the arms is derived from the arms of the St. Bavo Abbey in Gent. The village of Sint-Amandsberg was a possession of the abbey for many centuries (see also Oostakker, Lochristi and Sint Lievens Houtem).
The supporter, St. Amand is the patron saint of Sint-Amandsberg.
