The Diocese of Upper Karlovac comprises the most western Serbian territories: Banija, Kordun, Lika, Krbava, Gorski Kotar, as well as northern Croatia and Istria. It was named after the town of Karlovac, where its See is located. These territories have been settled by Serbians ever since the 15th century, and more intensely in the first decades of the 16th century. The main settlements were Zumberak and Bela Krajina, and then the areas near Gomirje and Gorski Kotar. During Turkish rule in central Lika (1528–1699), the Serbians moved to cragged, rugged land of Lika from Dalmatia, while Serbians from Bosnia settled mostly in Krbava. Many of them migrated from there to Austrian-held territories, i.e., to the area of the Vojna Krajina (Military "Buffer" Zone).

During the 16th century, the spiritual life of Orthodox Serbians of this area was guided by the metropolitans of Dabar-Bosnia. The See of this Metropolitanate was at one time in Monastery Rmanj, at the tri-juncture of Bosnia-Dalmatia-Lika. When parts of Lika, Banija and Krbava, which had been to this time under Turkish rule, were liberated at the end of the 17th century, a separate Diocese of Karlovac-Zrinopolje was established (1695). The first Bishop of the Diocese was a refugee from Bosnia, Metropolitan of Dabar-Bosnia Atanasije Ljubojevic (1696–1712).

In 1713, the Diocese of Karlovac-Zrinopolje was divided into two: the Diocese of Karlovac-Senj-Coastlands and the Diocese of Kostajnica-Zrinopolje. Danilo Ljubotina, Bishop of the former, founded his Episcopal Residence in Plaski. During the 18th century, the areas under Austrian rule were administered by the Bishops of Marca.

Roman Catholic proselytism and forced conversion to the Uniate Church (recognizing the authority of the Roman Pontiff) were a constant danger for Orthodox Serbians within the borders of the Diocese of Karlovac. Proof of that religious aggressiveness is the fate of the Serbian people in Zumberak, forcibly subjected to the Uniate Church in the 17th and 18th centuries. In that disparate struggle between the Roman Catholic Church, supported by the Austrian Court and Army, the loss of Zumberak was inevitable. Moreover, the military authorities, under the advice of the Roman Catholic clergy, expelled Orthodox priests, denying the Orthodox Bishop access to these regions. In order to preserve the Serbians in the faith of their fathers and the spirit of Saint Sava, Bishop Pavle Nenadovic (1744–1749), later Metropolitan of Karlovci, founded a "Central School" in Plaski for the educating of young seminarians. Also through the efforts of this eminent Bishop a similar school was established in Zaluznice, near Vrhovina. Bishop Danilo Jaksic (1751–1771), a Hierarch of great pastoral devoutness and holy life, also worked hard for the enlightenment of Serbian youth. Thanks to his zeal, a school in Metka was opened.

In the historic line of the Bishops of Karlovac the following are mentioned: Atanasije Ljubojevic (1688–1712), Danilo Ljubotina (1713–1739), Pavle Nenadovic (1744–1749), Danilo Jaksic (1751–1771), Josif Stojanovic (1771–1774), Petar Petrovic (17714–1784), Jovan Jovanovic (1784–1786), Genadije Dimovic (1786–1796), Stefan Avakumovic (1798–1801), Petar Petrovic Vidak (1801–1806), Mojsije Miokovic (1807–1823), Lukijan Musicki (1828–1837), Evgenije Jovanovic (1839–1854), Sergije Kacanski (1858–1859), Petar Jovanovic (1859–1864), Lukijan Nikolajevic (1865–1872), Teofan Zivkovic (1874–1890), Mihailo Grujic (1891–1914), Ilarion Zeremski (1920–1931), Maksimilijan Hajdin (1932–1936), Sava Trlajic (1938–1941), Nikanor Ilicic (1947–1951) and Simeon Zlokovic (1951–1990). The present Bishop of Upper Karlovac is Nikanor (Bogunovic).

In World War II, Bishop Sava Trlajic of Upper Karlovac was martyred. The Bishop was arrested on 13 June, 1941, together with thirteen other prominent Serbians, among whom there were also three Serbian priests. They were confined in a barn belonging to an Ustasha camp-officer Tomljenovic, where they were tortured in various ways. When they were being beaten, the church hymn "For as many of you as were baptized into Christ…" (Gal 3:27a) was played on a record-player. From there they were taken by freight-train to Gospic on 20 June. Bishop Sava was allowed to say good-bye to his 83-year old mother, but with his hands tied and legs fettered. In mid-August of 1941, Bishop Sava Trlajic was taken to Mount Velebit, where he was, with numerous other Serbians, thrown into the pit "Jadovno".

During World War II, the Diocese of Upper Karlovac endured an unprecedented spiritual genocide: 116 Serbian churches were destroyed, and 39 heavily damaged; two chapels were destroyed, along with 84 parish homes and other church buildings (53 being dynamited and 31 set afire). Church libraries and archives suffered the same fate: 154 archives were destroyed, 13 plundered. Out of 171 church and monastery libraries, 154 were destroyed while 17 were pillaged.

This devastation of Serbian holy sites on the territory of the Diocese of Upper Karlovac continued even after the war. The places of worship which remained after the war, in general damaged and demolished, were totally destroyed on the strict order of "the People’s authority". Thus, the "People’s Committee of the Municipality of Udbina" on 22 March, 1960, addressed an official act to the Serbian Orthodox Church, i.e., the Diocese of Upper Karlovac, stating among other things: "Our People’s Committee of the Municipality, at its meeting of 14 July 1957, and on the basis of legal sanctions, has passed a decision concerning the destruction of what is left of the walls of buildings set afire during the war or demolished by other means… In reference to this, and as on the territory of this Municipality there are still a number of such walls of burnt down Orthodox churches (Josan, Mekinjar, Svrackovo Selo, Mutilic, et. al.), we have addressed ourselves personally to Your Diocese in Karlovac, with the demand that these walls be finally, after 15 years since the end of the Second World War, be removed, i.e., torn down. In the event that you do not undertake measures, this People’s Committee will be forced to do so on its own, and to demolish those walls at the expense of the above-addressee." This decision was signed by Bogdan Korac.

The war of 1991–1995 added to this distress, thus continuing and confirming the continuity of the spiritual genocide on Serbian ecclesiastial monuments within the boundaries of the Diocese of Upper Karlovac. In the war from 1991 until 1993, five Serbian churches were demolished, and 18 damaged on the territory of this Diocese. Three parish homes were dynamited and seven damaged. Five cemeteries were destroyed. The Cathedral Church of Saint Nicholas in Karlovac, built during the period of 1785 to 1787, was dynamited by the Ustashas on Serbian Orthodox Christmas in 1992. The church of Saint Spyridon in Petrinja, dating from 1787, was destroyed by the Ustasha at the beginning of World War II; the new church was finished only in 1976. In the present war, this church was several times dynamited by Croatian nationalists, and finally on 12 August, 1991, razed to the ground. The Bishop’s Residence in Karlovac was shelled, plundered and finally destroyed. Thus on Saturday, 25 December, 1993, on Roman Catholic Christmas at 4:18 a.m., the See of the Diocese of Upper Karlovac was blown up by explosives. Within the walls of the Residence the Diocesan Museum Treasury, Archives and Library was located.

Following the Croatian aggression on the Republic of Serbian Krajina, in August of 1995, the Serbian population of this ancient Diocese was driven out (many being killed), and their churches desecrated, damaged or destroyed. The 18th-century wooden church in Buzeta, near Glina, a unique example of church architecture, was burnt totally to the ground. On the territory of this Diocese, 11 churches were destroyed, while 45 were damaged during the war period 1991–1995. Eight parish homes and other churches buildings were also destroyed, while 14 suffered serious damage. Unfortunately, now that the Serbs have been expelled from this region, many churches and other buildings remain abandoned and exposed to the ravages of decay.
