History

It was built in 1874 by Friedrich von Schmidt on the site of earlier medieval foundations. Its patron saint is Florinus of Remüs, a 9th-century saint of the Vinschgau Valley.
The Archdiocese of Vaduz was erected by Pope John Paul II on 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.
The Cathedral is the venue for national and royal family ceremonies. In August 2025, Princess Marie Caroline, grand-daughter of Prince Hans Adam, was married at the Cathedral.
