The St. Lebuinus Church, the cathedral of the Diocese of Deventer.
The Diocese of Deventer is a former diocese of the Catholic Church in the current Netherlands. It was erected in 1559 as a suffragan see to the Diocese of Utrecht, which was raised to an Archdiocese at the same time, at the request of king Philip II of Spain. The Diocese of Deventer covered Overijssel, a part of Guelders, and the counties of Zutphen, Bentheim, and Lingen.
According to the 19th century historian A.J. van der Aa[1], the first bishop appointed by Philip II was Johannes Mahusius, but he never occupied the post because of obstruction by the Estates, and he resigned in 1570 because of illness. He was succeeded by Egidius de Monte, who was established in Deventer by the Duke of Alva. After he died in 1589, Gijsbert Koeverinks was named as the third bishop of Deventer, but before he could be consecrated in 1591, Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange conquered the city, and the diocese ceased to exist.
