History
In 1732 the Diocese of Csanád, founded by King St Stephen of Hungary around 1030, was moved by the Habsburgs to Temesvár. The building, built between 1743 and 1752, became the first permanent residence of the bishops of Temesvár in 1780, when Christovich Imre became bishop. Previously it had functioned as a salt office. After that it was several times rebuilt and extended. In 1890, after a complete renovation, it took its present form. In 1891, Emperor Franz Joseph stayed here. In 1995, the Museum of the Diocese of Temesvár was opened in the building with a collection of church history.
