- Charles Didier-Van Caster built a new organ for the Église Sacré-Coeur in Nancy in 1906-1907. The organ is located in two cases to the north and south side of the west gallery. The instrument has three manuals en pedal. On May 30, 1907 the inauguration concert was given by Charles-Marie Widor.
- After a fire in the church that damaged the organ, a restoration was carried out in 1979 by Victor Gonzalez. He replaced the Grosse Flûte 8' of Grand Orgue by a new Tierce 1 3/5'. In 2015-2019 the organ has been completely restored by Frédéric Mayeur and Xavier Szymczak. The original Grosse Flûte was reconstructed.
