Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on August 29, 1840 and confirmed on March 29, 1979.
The arms are identical to the arms adopted by the Saint Ghislain Abbey in 1588. The Abbey played a major role in the local history for many centuries. The arms are a combination of the German Imperial Eagle and the French Royal fleur-de-lis.
On April 15, 1818 the town already received arms with a bush. The meaning thereof is not known.
