The arms of the city (German name Patschkau) show the eagle of St. John, the local patron saint. The oldest known seal of the city, dating from 1303 shows a divided shield with the eagle of Upper Silezia and the six fleur-de-lys of the diocese of Wroclaw. The castle was owned by the Dukes of Upper Silezia, whereas the village was ruled by the bishops. | The arms of the city (German name Patschkau) show the eagle of St. John, the local patron saint.
