Cumbel

Gules the Women's Gate Argent with roof and open portcullis Sable.

Željko Heimer, 3 November 2001

The women's gate is the most important monument of the valley, and owes its name to the legendary battle of the women of Lugnez, in the feud between Werdenberg and Belmont in 1352, on the side of Belmont, which was of utmost importance at the time in the battle between feudalism and democracy.
