Archdiocese of Esztergom
The St. Adalbert's Basilica in Esztergom built between 1822-1869
The archbishopric of Esztergom (or archbishopric of Gran) was the most prominent historical archdiocese in (Austro-)Hungary.
History
It was created in 1000 under Stephen I of Hungary largely on the territory of Upper Hungary. After the Treaty of Trianon, its territory was reduced to its present-day extent and it became the Archdiocese of Esztergom-Budapest on 31 May 1993. The rest became part of the Catholic structures of Czechoslovakia (now Slovakia).
