The Diocese of Hradec Králové (Latin: Reginae Gradecen(sis), German: Bistum Königgrätz) is a Latin diocese of the Catholic Church located in the city of Hradec Králové in the Ecclesiastical Province of Prague in the Czech Republic.
History[edit]
On 10 November 1664, the diocese was established from the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Prague.
On 28 June 1972, Pope Paul VI – by his Apostolic constitution Episcoporum Poloniae coetus – redrew boundaries of a number of Polish, Czech, and German dioceses, removing the County of Kladsko area from the Diocese of Hradec Králové and assigning it to the neighbouring Archdiocese of Wrocław.[1]
