| | Archbishopric of Warmia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Although the Bishops of Warmia defended their privileges and tried to put down all attempts to cut the prerogatives and the autonomy the bishopric enjoyed, Polish and German historians disagree whether the bishopric was autonomous or simply controlled by the Teutonic Knights. |
 | | The office of Bishop of Warmia, traditionally at the cathedral of Frauenburg (Frombork), was left vacant until the appointment of Józef Drzazga in 1972, who relocated the office to Olsztyn. |
 | | On March 25, 1992, the Bishopric of Warmia was raised to an archbishopric, with the bishoprics of Elbląg and Ełk belonging also to the 12,000 km² area and its 703,000 Catholics, 33 deans, 253 church districts, 446 diocese priests, 117 order priests, and 231 order nuns. |
