Roman Catholic Diocese of Leal

Diocese of Leal or Bishopric of Estonia was the name of the main Latin diocese in Estonia during the early Catholic missionary phase.

It was established in 1211, with episcopal see in Leal (today Lihula).

It was suppressed in 1235, to establish on its territory the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dorpat (Tartu), which was itself suppressed in 1558, without succession.
