The arms and their blazon
The municipality distinguishes the historical seal from the modern depiction and says the arms were established in 1924.
Background in the municipal sources
Trelleborg notes that the sources do not show that a stone castle existed. The date of the town’s early seal is uncertain and is not given as an exact founding year.
Heraldic elements
The heraldic elements are identified using HERO, a heraldry ontology published through Finland's Finto service. It provides structured terminology for describing coats of arms and their components. The list describes the structure of the arms, not the symbolic meaning of its elements.
