Cathédrale Sainte-Croix-Saint-Jean-des-Arméniens, Armenian cathedral in 3rd arrondissement of Paris, France
The cathedral exhibits classical architecture with a symmetrical facade designed by Victor Baltard, incorporating both Romanesque and Renaissance elements into its structure.
Founded in 1623 by financier Claude Charlot, the building initially served as a chapel for Capuchin friars who acted as volunteer firefighters in Paris.
The cathedral interior displays religious artifacts and paintings that represent the traditions and spiritual practices of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
Regular services take place in multiple languages at this religious center, located at 13-15 rue du Perche in the Marais district of Paris.
The cathedral changed names multiple times before receiving its current designation when the Armenian Catholic Exarchate elevated to an eparchy in 1986.
