  • The organ in the parish church of Le Locle was originally manufactured by Victor Gonzalez for Maurice Duruflé, who wanted to have a residence organ for his mansion in Paris. The original design had three manuals and pedal. But the organ was never installed in Paris, and was sold to the parish of Le Locle in 1959. It was reduced to two manuals.
  • In 1999, a restoration has been carried out by the Manufacture de Chézard-Saint-Martin.
