As such, it automatically became a municipality, albeit sparsely populated. The estate used the following coat of arms: 'or, a double-headed eagle gules'. Upon this CoA a flag was designed, using the same eagle, but on a horizontally divided yellow and red flag. The eagle itself has then mirrored colours.In 1816, Buttinge en Zandvoort merged with Grijpskerke en Poppendamme and Hoogelande into the new municipality 'Grijpskerke', which was by far the largest settlement.
