Holmestrand komm.svg

The coat of arms of Holmestrand was approved by Royal Resolution on 14 November 1898.[1] It was created by the artist Andreas Bloch (1860–1917).[1] It among other things points to the towns connections with the naval hero Peter Tordenskjold (in the middle of the white eagle is a picture of his ship Hvide Ørn 'white eagle').[1] The official version of the coat of arms also features a golden mural crown with three towers.[1]
