Wiesent Coat of Arms

Shield Azure a fleur-de-lis Or, chief Argent charged with three sinister facing ravens statant Sable.
Meaning:
The ravens are taken from the arms of the Lintelo family, who owned the Lordship of Wiesent from 1634 until 1705. The family also built the local castle. The fleur-de-lis is an attribute of St. Mary, local patron saint as Our Lady of Assumption.
