definite form ending -en.[12]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 20 January 1989. The official blazon is "Vert, a gavel Or" (Norwegian: I grønt en opprett gull klubbe). This means the arms have a green field (background) and the charge is a gavel. The gavel has a tincture of Or which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. The gavel is meant to symbolize John Neergaard, who is considered the father of municipal governments in Norway, (formannskapets far), who was from Rindal. He was responsible for pushing for local government reform which led to the approval of the Formannskapsdistrikt law in 1837. The arms were designed by Einar Skjervold. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[13][14][15]

Churches

The

Orkdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. This transfer was a result of Rindal Municipality being transferred from Møre og Romsdal county to Trøndelag county in 2019.[16]
