Roman Catholic Diocese of Hradec Králové

History

• November 10, 1664: Established as Diocese of Hradec Králové from Metropolitan Archdiocese of Praha
• On 28 June 1972 Pope Paul VI – by his Apostolic constitution Episcoporum Poloniae coetus – redrew boundaries of a number of Polish – and their adjacent Czech and German – dioceses, disentangling the County of Kladsko area from the Diocese of Hradec Králové and assigning it to the neighbouring Archdiocese of Wrocław.
