Interesting, but heraldically and de facto incorrectly restored, is CoA of one of Cernovice demesne owners, count Martin Enrique Paradis de Eschaide y de la Saga, on belfry at Church of the Elevation of Holy Cross in Cernovice. The raeal design of the Paradis de Eschaide CoA is very different, viz. picture.
A detached belfry at Church of the Elevation of Holy Cross (Kostel Povýšení svatého Kríže), originally structure with a Gothic core, was elevated and rebuilt in Baroque style in 17th and 18th centuries. The present appearance tower obtained during the last modification after the fire in 1857, when the Baroque onion roof was destroyed and replaced by the neo-Gothic pyramidal roof. Inside are three bells from 1926, clockwork and dials are from 1941. The tower is decorated with two coats of arms: Paradis de Eschaide and restorer of the tower, a married couple Schönburg-Schwarzenberg.
Martin Enrique Paradis de Eschaide y de la Saga (Martin Jindrich Paradis hrabe z Eschaide) was owner of the Cernovice demesne in the 17th century. He was nephew of Spanish Catholic officer, immigrant from Carithia to Bohemia and post-White Mountain Battle parvenu, Jacob Enrique de Paradis y Echaide. [wiki]
