Shield Gules, a half length portrait of a bishop, haired Argent, dressed Or with a mitre Or decorated Gules with scarves of the same.
Meaning:
The bishop probably is St.Denis of Paris, patron saint of the local parish church. The arms are based on a city seal. Prints of the seal are known since 1420.
