Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think we were ever given an exact date. My best educated guess is around 1557. So 20 years ago from where the ARR story starts.
I'm basing this date off of the fact that Nidhogg was last seen in 1557 after being injured by the Azure Dragoon, Ser Alberic. Lore then follows up by saying that after Nidhogg's return to slumber there has been a rise in the frequency of dragon attacks. Whole villages burnt to the ground etc. So somewhere in this time period the Archbishop decides to close off its gates to all but the Holy Knights of Ishguard. So probably anywhere in between 1557~1560 is a good time frame.
Hope this helps!
Again if anyone sources the actual year that Ishguard closed its gates that'd be great!
