Gebaut von: Joseph Merklin (1866)
Demolished (1907)


  • In 1866 the Merklin firm completed a new organ for the cathedral in Geneva. The organ was built in the French-Romantic style and had 45 stops. It was dedicated in June 1866. Consultants were Edouard Batiste from Paris and Mr. Vogt, organist of the cathedral in Fribourg. The organ was installed in a new neo-Gothic organ case.
  • The church was extensively restored around 1900. The organ had to be dismantled. Parts were built up in those parts of the church that were used for church services. In 1907 it was decided to have the instrument completely rebuilt by the company Tchanun. It meant the end of Merklin's organ, although much of the pipework was preserved in the new organ.
