Unfortunately I have no background information on these arms. Any information is welcome !
The arms were officially granted on December 3, 1997.
 
The castle represents the Fria Castle, a large medieval castle which has been excavated and which is part of the parish. The crown is a symbol of the local patron saint, St. Mary.
