History

  • June 17, 1777: Established as Diocese of Szombathely (German Steinamanger) from the Diocese of Veszprém and Diocese of Zagreb, Croatia. Its first bishop was John Szily (1777–99), who built the episcopal residence and the cathedral. His successor, Cardinal Franz Herzen (1799-1804), was envoy of Joseph II to the Holy See.
