- The organ in the chapel of the Grand-Séminaire in Metz was originally built for the sisters of the mid-19th century
Congregation of Saint-Maur in Langres. Some time later the instrument was acquired via the organ builder Théodore Jacquot by viscount Maurice du Coëtlosquet, who placed it in the chapel of his castle in Mercy. When the viscount died in 1904, his widow
permanently settled in Rambervillers and donated the organ to the Grand-Séminaire in Metz.
It was installed in the chapel in 1909 by Dalstein and Haerpfer. Because the gothic organ case did not match the style of the chapel, a new case in baroque style was manufactured by sculptor Théophile Klem from Colmar. In 1969 Jean-Georges Koenig carried out a restoration. The organ had twenty stops at this time.
- In 1996, Bernard Aubertin built a new organ for the chapel in the case of 1909.
