The arms of the city of Nowe date from the 13<sup>th</sup> century and show a fortified gate, a common symbol in medieval times for cities. The arms are canting (Burg=castle, the German name was Neuenburg, or new castle). All seals, since the 15<sup>th</sup> century, show the castle, but the size and shape differs between the seals and with time. The present shape dates from the 17<sup>th</sup> century. | The arms of the city of Nowe date from the 13<sup>th</sup> century and show a fortified gate, a common symbol in medieval times for cities.
