- Aristide Cavaillé-Coll built a two-manual organ with attached pedal in Bonsecours in 1857. The instrument had 22 registers upon delivery. It was dedicated on Wednesday, November 18, 1857, with a special event, during which four organists from Rouen played the organ: Aloÿs Klein, Hippolyte Godefroy, Aimable Dupré and Rivière. On Thursday, November 19, the official inauguration concert was given by Louis James Alfred Lefébure-Wély.
- The same company expanded it in 1879 with an independent pedal. In 1889 Cavaillé-Coll carried out some repairs. The organ was restored in 1926 by the Convers-Cavaillé-Coll company and in 1956 by the Beuchet-Debièrre company. In 1956, the manual compass has been expanded from f''' to g'''.
- A restoration has been carried out by Jean Renaud in 1998-2000.
