MEESWIJK
Province : Limburg
Incorporated into: 1970 Leut (1977 Maasmechelen)
Official blazon
In goud een recht-gelegde roode rooster; het schild rustende op een rechtstaanden gouden abtsstaf, de krul rechts.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on April 19, 1907.
The arms show a grill, the symbol of the local patron saint, St. Lawrence. The colours of the arms are those of the former County of Loon. The village historically was a possession of the St. Lawrence Abbey in Liège, hence the choice of the patron saint. The grill already appeared on the 17th century seal of the local council.
 The arms in the Koffie Hag/Café Hag albums +/- 1930 |
