History

Remains of the Lubawa Castle, former residence of the Bishops of Chełmno
  • From 1257 to 1782 the episcopal seat was the castle in Lubawa.
  • In 1454, the region was reincorporated by King Casimir IV Jagiellon to the Kingdom of Poland.
  • In 1466, the region was confirmed as part of Poland, and the diocese was agreed to pass to the Archdiocese of Gniezno.[3]
  • After 1525 Chełmno incorporated southern parts of the Pomesanian diocesan area (with Łasin and Nowe Miasto), which happened to be in the Chełmno Voivodeship. Whereas western Pomesanian diocesan area in the Malbork Voivodeship was administered by Chełmno, but officially maintaining its naming.
  • After Riga's dissolution in 1566 the bishops of Chełmno attended the councils of the ecclesiastical province of the metropolitan of Gniezno. This practice was recognised by the Holy See by the Bull De salute animarum in 1821, when Chełmno became de jure a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Gniezno. Chełmno diocese was enlarged on that occasion (Górzno, Krajna and Działdowo).
  • Annexation of the diocesan area in the First Partition of Poland in 1772 and Second Partition of Poland in 1793 by the Kingdom of Prussia.
  • From 1782 to 1824 the episcopal seat was in Chełmża.
Pelplin Cathedral, seat of the diocese in 1821–1992, listed as a Historic Monument of Poland.[4]
