Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on December 15, 1949.

The arms show the arms of the De Croix family, Lords of Moen. In 1718 the Moen Estate became officially a county and Ignace de Crois hence used the title Count of Moen. His arms were also used by the local council and parish during the whole 18^th century, as can seen from a seal dating from 1794.

The cross (croix) is a canting element. The left banner shows the arms of the Dadizele estate, another possession of the family (see now Moorslede).

Literature: Servais, 1955
