The Diocese of Pomerania was created in 1140 with the bishop’s seat in Wolin. By the papal bull of 1188, the capital of the Diocese of Pomerania was moved to Kamień Pomorski and the name was changed to the Diocese of Kamień. The diocese operated till the secularisation in 1545. Pope Paul VI re-installed the diocese in these lands on 28 June 1972 as the Diocese of Szczecin-Kamień. It was erected an archdiocese on 25 March 1992 by Pope John Paul II by the bull Totus Tuus Poloniae populus.
