Lemmer is the seat of the municipality of Lemsterland in southern Fryslân, bordering on Flevoland. It is an old village with a small cosy harbour and a great restaurant, where you can for a very decent price eat tasty fish. It is also the village of the best speed-skater of all times, Rintje Ritsma (at least according to himself).
The CoA of Lemmer was azure, with a white cloud, from which an arm emerges with a black sleeve, holding a swallow-tailed flag: black with a white Scandinavian-type cross.
