This temple, dedicated to the Catholicos saint Nerses Shnorhali, is the prelacy of the Uruguayan Diocese of the Armenian Holy Apostolic Church. Its current head is Archbishop Hakob Glnjian.[2]

The church is part of a bigger ensemble of buildings that house Armenian-Uruguayan institutions.[1] There is a memorial to the Armenian genocide, with a sculpture by Nerses Ounanian.[3]
