The former French Catholic diocese of Senlis existed from the sixth century, at least, to the French Revolution. Its see was at Senlis, in the modern department of Oise, in northern France.
It was suppressed by the Concordat of 1801, its territory passing to the diocese of Beauvais.Senlis (Diocese) [Catholic-Hierarchy]
History Rieul of Senlis is considered the first bishop, probably around the early fourth century.Croizé de Pourcelet, Marie-Thérèse. "The tribulations of the relics of St-Rieul ", Reports and memoirs 1998-99, Senlis, Society of history and archeology of Senlis, 2000, p. 207-220 The first cathedral was built in the late 4th or early 5th century, within the perimeter of the city walls.
