The Roman Catholic Diocese of Lutsk was first established in the 13th century as the diocese of Luceoria (Latin) or Łuck (Polish). After the victory of Napoleon, the diocese was joined with the Diocese of Zhytomyr, forming the diocese of Lutzk-Zhitomir-Kamenetz. (suffragan see of the Archdiocese of Mohilev between 1798 and 1925). In 1925, the diocese of Lutsk was restored and the Diocese of Zhytomyr became separate.
