Dekanat Kłodzko

Dekanat Kłodzko is an administrative church unit within the Diocese of Świdnica responsible for overseeing parishes in the Kłodzko County area. Its headquarters operates from the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Kłodzko, from where it coordinates pastoral work across multiple communities.

The deanery was founded in 1946 as church administration reorganized following World War II and the territorial changes that followed. This new structure reflected how the Catholic Church adapted to the political shifts of the post-war period.

The deanery serves as a spiritual center for the local Catholic population across the region. Priests here are woven into community life, conducting services and supporting people through important life moments.

The deanery headquarters is located in the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in central Kłodzko. Visitors can visit the church to see the building, preferably at times when services are not taking place.

The deanery's territory originally belonged to the Archdiocese of Prague despite being located physically within Polish borders. This unusual arrangement resulted from the complex administrative boundaries that emerged after World War II.
