In 1697, Pierre Puget built a new organ case for Laon Cathedral, where he placed an organ in the years 1698 to 1700 under the advice of Nicolas Lébègue. The instrument was replaced by a new organ by Henri Didier in 1899. However, the old case was retained, albeit with changes.

The Müller company started the restoration of the organ in 1984, which was completed by Bernard Dargassies in 1992.
