This church was built in a neo-classical style in 1841- 1844 by the architect Paul-Eugène Lequeux (1806- 1873). The choir was enlarged in 1930-1933 by the architect Dubos.

E6 The organ was built by Suret around 1860, having two keyboards and pedal (25 stops) and rebuilt by Mutin-Cavaillé- Coll at the very beginning of the 20th century. Michel-Merklin and Kuhn electrified the transmission of notes in 1942 and applied the pneumatic system to that of the stops; in addition, the Récit was removed and placed on one side of the Great Organ (to the right when looking at the organ). A Positive keyboard was provided for at the console but was not installed due to lack of credits, as was a Flute 16. In 1983, Gonzalez replaced with electric motors. In 1998-2002, a restoration and enlargement was carried out by Dargassies: The replacement of the two heavily damaged wind chests of the Swell with a single new one The addition of a Plein jeu and a Voix Humaine on the Swell The installation of the 3rd keyboard 'solo' (in place of the Positive, planned by Merklin and Kuhn, but not realized) with in particular a brilliant Tuba Mirabilis 16, 8 and 4 (horizontal sound diffusion) and a Grand Cornet V The refurbishing and restoration of the existing wind chests and organ cases (Great Organ and Positif) and the creating of one for the Solo Replacement of the electrical transmissions with a Solid State device Renewal of the wiring The addition of a digital Flute 16, Contra-Bombarde 32 and Soubasse 32 More information Brochure on the organ
