  • In 1894-1895 the Delmotte company built a new organ for the Église Saint-Martin-d'Esquermes in Lille. The instrument is built with pneumatic action and cone chests. The instrument was designed in French-romantic style, typical of the construction period. Delmotte had the organ installed and finished by the Puget company. It was inaugurated on 10 June 1895.
  • The organ fell into disrepair after the Second World War, with the result that it was decommissioned in the 1960s. An electronic organ was placed on the priest's choir. The instrument was examined in 1999 and it was decided to have it restored. This restoration also meant a modernization of the instrument. The stoplist was modified and expanded, new wind chests were installed and the action was electrified. The work was carried out in 2006-2007 by the Delmotte company.
  • In 2013 the instrument was again enlarged by Nicolas Pichon in collaboration with the Manufacture Delmotte, so that it is now a five-keyboard organ with 63 stops.
