Blazon: På raud grunn to gull drakehovud i skrå rekkje. In English: Gules two
dragon heads bendwise.
Approved by the royal resolution of 18 December 1987 after a drawing by Inge
Rotevatn. [c2j88]
The
municipal web site explains that the dragon heads are from the Borgund
wooden church, originating from ca. 1150, being among the oldest of the type and
a landmark in the municipality.

Actually, both churches are wooden. The dragon heads are on the Borgund Stave
Church. They are the decorations at the ends of the roof ridges like several
stave churches have them.
