The coat of arms (municipal website) shows St. Michael represented as a Roman warrior in a somewhat unusual posture, holding an oval shield with a Latin cross and the inscription "Quis ut Deus" ("Who is like God", the Latin translation of the meaning of the Hebrew name Michael) and with a flaming sword held above his head in a white shield bordered golden including the name of the municipality inscribed in the base.
The coat of arms was probably not approved by the central authorities.
