Toruń's Crest

A description of the crest of Toruń: in a silver field there are red city walls with crenellations and three donjons of equal height. In each outmost donjon there is one black porthole. In the city walls there is a gate with gold doors, of which the right part is open. The fitting on the doors is silver, and in the open half of the gate there is a raised silver portcullis. The opening of the gate is black. A kneeling angel in blue attire with silver wings holds the crest. The angel’s hair is black, and the face and hands are of a natural colour. In his right hand the angel holds a gold key.

The pattern of the crest is protected by law, and it is the authorities of the city of Toruń that are authorised to use it. The crest must be used according to its graphic pattern. As a symbol and identity sign of the city, it may be particularly used: on the banner and flag of the city, in the City Council chamber, in the offices of the Chief Councillor and the President, in the wedding room, on and inside buildings - the seats of city authorities and their agencies, on plaques founded by the city authorities, on the seals of City Office and its agencies, on poles and tollgates located at the borders of the city, as well as at enquiry points, on letter-heads, and promotional materials published by the President or with his approval.
