Neumarkter Tor (Former Fortified Town Gate)
The “Neumarkter Tor” was a north-facing gate. It was one of the five gates of the fortification system of medieval Friesach.
The fortified gate was completely demolished in 1845 CE because the roads in the town had to be widened.

Friesach Coat of Arms
The coat of arms of Friesach is based on the oldest surviving seal on a document from 1265 CE (related to the medieval town). It shows the Friesach town fortifications in a highly stylised form with the Olsator in the middle, the Neumarkter Tor and St. Veiter Tor at the sides and the Red Tower at the rear.
