Shipmate Flagchart : http://www.flagchart.net
adopted 19 Apr 1955; design: Kl. Sierksma
Arms: in bend or, noir and gules, surmounting a swan argent armed or.
The swan reminds of the large flocks of swans hibernating near the
village on the IJsselmeer - some of them stay there all year.
Koarnwert is a small village (c. 100 inh.) at a stonethrow from the
Ofslútdyk (enclosuredam, which connects Holland to Fryslân
