The Roman Catholic Diocese of Versailles, is a diocese of the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church, in France. The diocese, headed by the bishop of Versailles, was established in 1801. Until then, its territory had been part of the archdiocese of Paris. It was centred on Versailles.
History
On its creation, the territory of the diocese of Versailles corresponded to the département of Seine-et-Oise. Following the boundary changes of the départements of Île-de-France, new dioceses were established on 9 October 1966. The diocese of Versailles was therefore modified to correspond to the département of Yvelines, following the creation of the dioceses of Évry-Corbeil-Essones, Nanterre, Saint-Denis, Créteil, Pontoise.
