The creation of the arms has a peculiar and somewhat romantic story attached to it. It was the first arms created by a parish in the
Södermanland province in 1941. It was inspired by ahop plant that some locals had seen on a farm. The left part of the arms, an oak tree, is the inisgnia for the historicalOppunda Hundred , stretching through the municipality.ights
The renowned Säfstaholm Castle ("slott") was bought by the municipality in 1968. It is used for exhibitions and other cultural events.
