Day church converted Austrian prince’s estate (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

archduchy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'austrian prince's estate' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'day church converted' is the wordplay.
'converted' is an anagram indicator.
'day'+'church'='daychurch'
'daychurch' with letters rearranged gives 'ARCHDUCHY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for archduchy that I've seen is " Austria, say".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
