Shield fimbriated yellow and parted of Azure and Vert by an irregular zigzag line with a few trees Vert, and in front of the line a church tower and a house in half timber, on central base a grain ear and a bobbin in saltire and a mayweed in pale.
Meaning:
The arms display the landscape, represented by trees, and the settlement, represented by the tower of the local church and a house, which is probably the municipal hall. The flower is referring to medicinal herbs, the ear to agriculture and the bobbin to embroideries, the main local business lines.

The coat of arms doesn´t match heraldic rules and is probably used without approval. The flag colours are those of the county and the banner probably is also used without approval.
