History

The diocese of Kassa was established in 1804 by Emperor Francis I from the Hungarian counties of Abaúj, Zemplén and Sáros, which previously belonged to the diocese of Eger. In 1995 Pope John Paul II promoted it to the rank of archdiocese during his visit in Kassa.

In 1804 the Csáky and Sztáray houses were joined, in 1893 the southern Gering house was also added to the building, thus creating its present-day facade. The coat of arms of Bishop Ocskay Antal decorates the facade.
