Kristiansund Coat of Arms
The Coat of Arms for Kristiansund is showing a waterfall from a high cliff or mountain, and salmons trying to swim or jump upstream.The numbers are showing the year of 1742. On top it has a castle-shaped crown with 5 towers in gold. In the early 1940's, at the beginning of World War II, this town was heavily bombed, and close to 900 houses were demolished. The town you meet today has lost most of its old character, even if traces of the old town can still be seen in the lower part of the Innlandet. But from the ashes of the old town, the new and modern city of today is appearing, and a walk through this town is both interesting and inspiring.
