History

The diocese dates back to the 4th century. On November 29 1801 it was suppressed and added to the Diocese of Nancy. On October 6 1822 the diocese was re-established. Until 1801, it was part of the ecclesiastical province of the Archbishop of Trier.
The Bishopric of Verdun was also a state of the Holy Roman Empire; it was located at the western edge of the Empire and was bordered by France, the Duchy of Luxembourg, and the Duchy of Bar. It was annexed to France in 1552; this was recognized by the Holy Roman Empire in the Peace of Westphalia of 1648. It then was a part of the province of the Three Bishoprics.
