The article presents the state of the diocese of Wenden (Livonia) in the late 16th c. in the light of the correspondence addressed to Marcin Kromer, bishop of Warmia by three Catholic priests: Fabian Kwadrantyn, Andreas Krüger and Erdmann Tolgsdorf. In the years 1582–1598 these priests did active pastoral work in Livonia. Their mission was to support the structures of the Catholic Church, that were being rebuilt by King Stefan Batory and popes after the losses of the period of the Protestant Reformation.
