The most remarkable event in the history of Doruchów was the trial of the witches in 1775, where 14 women were burned to death for supposed witchcraft. It was the last and rare trial of this kind in Poland.
Flag adopted on April 27, 2006 (resolution # XXXVI/156/2006).
New Arms adopted in 2008 (exact date not available),
The new Arms were adopted after the objection to the old Arms, showing
the stake, were taken into considerations.
The new Arms are showing an ancient defensive settlement and a set
of iron working tools.
The flag is a horizontal tri-band of red-white-red with the "Czech"-style
triangle at the hoist.
