Description of the coat of arms
In a red field, a silver wall with a gate and three towers, beneath which a silver river flows horizontally. Within the gate, a silver scarf is tied in a circular manner. On the central and tallest tower, a silver eagle with golden bands on its wings, as well as golden talons, beak, and a ring on its tail.
Meaning of the coat of arms
The district coat of arms reflects the history and traditions of these lands. The eagle is a reference to the historical coat of arms of Mazovia, which first appeared in the 13th century and still exists today as the emblem of the Mazovian Voivodship. The wall with towers is a direct reference to the coat of arms of the district seat, the current version of which was established in the 20th century. The Nałęcz* symbol within the gate, for compositional reasons, has been simplified and refers to the Nałęcz Nowodworski family. The silver river emphasizes the geographical location at the confluence of the Narew and Vistula rivers. Since 2004, the coat of arms has been a symbol of Nowodworski district, promoting its values and historical traditions.
*Nałęcz - A white scarf, traditionally placed over a knight's shoulders by a maiden following medieval tradition, aimed at sparing the knight from the executioner's axe while also binding the knight to marry his rescuer
