AURSKOG-HØLAND

Province : Viken (until 2020 Akershus)

Official blazon

I gull en opprett svart kreps.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on February 4, 1983.

The arms show a sweet-water lobster, which was derived from the older logo of the municipality. The logo showed a typical landscape of the area, a lake surrounded by woods and a lobster in the lake. To place the whole composition in a shield to create the arms was not allowed according to Norwegian heraldic rules, so the lobster was chosen as a symbol.
