It was built in 1874 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 satins consulendum 2 December 1997. 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.

gollark: A decent amount of sites offer it, since a lot of blog platforms support it, even Reddit has RSS capability still, and there are some things to bridge website updates to RSS.
gollark: For most stuff I just have RSS feeds instead of email, which works better.
gollark: I used to get those, but realized I didn't particularly care and turned them off.
gollark: Well, one time it decided to start sending me emails about mentions in servers because my phone was not connected to Discord or something, and as (technically) a bot developer they bother me about that.
gollark: I check my spam box sometimes and there generally isn't even any actual spam in there, just emails from services which I don't particularly care about (like Discord's random bothering about things).
