Heraldry in Poland

Heraldry in Poland is the tradition of designing, using, and studying coats of arms that symbolize families, regions, or institutions. Polish heraldic symbols often feature distinctive patterns, animals, and motifs, reflecting history, social status, or allegiance. Unlike Western heraldry's primarily noble focus, Polish heraldry includes a wider range of groups, with many families sharing a single coat of arms. These emblems serve as visual identifiers, conveying heritage and identity, and are integral to Poland’s historical and cultural landscape.
