Vaduz Cathedral

Vaduz Cathedral

Vaduz Cathedral, or Cathedral of St. Florin ("St. Florinskirche in Vaduz" or "Kathedrale St. Florin"), is a neo-Gothic church in Vaduz, Liechtenstein and the center of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vaduz. Originally a parish church, it has had the status of a cathedral since 1997.

It was built in 1873 by Friedrich von Schmidt on the site of earlier medieval foundations. Its patron saint is Florinus of Remüs (Florin), a 9th century saint of the Vinschgau Valley.

The Archdiocese of Vaduz was erected by Pope John Paul II in the apostolic constitution "Ad satius consulendum" December 2, 2002. Before then it had been the Liechtenstein Deanery, a part of the Swiss Diocese of Chur. The solemn public ceremony took place on December 12, 1997, in the parish church of Vaduz, which was then raised to the dignity of a cathedral.
