Coat of Arms

image by Tomislav Šipek, 02 December 2015

Blazon: I blått en sølv kalk. In English: Azure a chalice argent.
Approved by the royal resolution of 12 February 1988 after a drawing by Arvid Sveen. [c2j88]
Accotding to http://www.ngw.nl/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Gildesk%C3%A5l:
"The arms are kind of canting since the meaning of the name Gildeskål refers to a guild hall and a cup or chalice was chosen to represent the banquets held in such a hall."
