Located in the heart of the Marais, the Cathedral of the Armenians is one of the architectural jewels of the district. The Church of the Capuchins of the Marais, founded in 1622, was rebuilt in the early 18th century and was then called St. John Saint-François. Assigned to parish worship in 1803, its very simple architecture underwent few modifications: a large rectangular hall covered by a basket handle vault, to which is added a single collateral, in accordance with the Franciscan tradition. The plan for the choir, rebuilt in 1828 by Hippolyte Godde, also remained in its original layout. The gate on the courtyard was built by Victor Baltard in 1855. In 1970,the church, then closed to worship, was entrusted by Cardinal Marty to the Armenian community who was looking for a parish church.

E5 The Great Organ was commissioned in 1844 from Dominique, Aristide and Vincent Cavaillé-Coll, replacing a small instrument from Somer. Cavaillé-Coll then installed the instrument in a buffet made by the master sculptor Liénard. The instrument had previously been exhibited at the 1844 World's Fair. In 1926, the instrument was restored and enlarged by Paul- Marie Koenig of Caen: extension of the Récit from 37 to 54 notes pedal range from 20 to 30 notes Renewal of the Plein-Jeu (increased to IV) and the Voix Céleste addition of a Tierce installation of a expression pedal ‘à bascule’ In 1956, Beuchet carried out another renovation: extension to the treble (56 notes) by a small complementary wind chest (tubular) changes in the stoplist, including the removal of the GO's reeds.
