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.
