The coat of arms of the City of Kristiansund is white and blue and this specimen can be seen above the door of the watchtower. It is painted on wood.
Kristiansund was originally called Fosna, which means hiding place. In recent times, the origin of the name was often misinterpreted as Fossund (sound at the waterfall). This can also be seen on the city's coat of arms, which shows a blue waterfall with three salmon seeping down from a silver cliff. The coat of arms dates from 1742.
