The diocese was established by Maria Theresa on 13 March 1776 as a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Esztergom. It was then known by its German name diocese of Rosenau, or Hungarian name diocese of Rozsnyó. In 1776 János Galgóczy was appointed first Bishop of Rosenau, but died before taking charge. His successor, Count Antal Révay (1776–80), caused the church to be restored and the high altar to be renovated. Among his successors were: János Scitovszky (1827–38), later Bishop of Funfkirchen and Archbishop of Gran; Béla Bartakovics (1845–50), later archbishop of Eger.[3]
On 30 December 1977, it was taken from the former metropolitan, and became part of the newly created Slovak ecclesiastical province together with the metropolitan Diocese of Trnava.
The last change of metropolitan took place on 31 March 1995 when it was changed to the newly elevated Archdiocese of Košice.
