History

- 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.[1]
