The arms are canting for the german name of the city, Bischofsburg (Bishop's castle) and show a bishop's mitre before a castle. The smaller shield in front may be the arms of the founder or the city, Bishop Heinrich Sorenbaum of Ermeland. The oldest known seal, dating from the 15<sup>th</sup> century, already shows these arms. | The arms are canting for the german name of the city, Bischofsburg (Bishop's castle) and show a bishop's mitre before a castle.
