The oldest seal of the city dates from the 14<sup>th</sup> century and shows a knight of the Teutonic Order, flanked by two trees, with a bird on each of the trees. The city at the time was a possession of the Teutonic Order. The only known other seal of the city dates from the 16<sup>th</sup> century and shows a female figure holding a bird. It is not known who the female represents. The dove is canting as "Golab" is Polish for "dove". | The oldest seal of the city dates from the 14<sup>th</sup> century and shows a knight of the Teutonic Order, flanked by two trees, with a bird on each of the trees.
