- Adrien Carpentier built a new organ for the Église Saint-Martin in Auxi-le-Château in 1745. The organ was overhauled by Charles Gadault in 1862. The reeds have been partly renewed and the voicing has been revised. In 1888 the company Cavaillé-Coll altered the disposition by replacing the Quarte on the positive with a Salicional and the Tierce with an Unda Maris.
- In the years 1989-1993 the organ was restored by the Boisseau-Cattiaux company. The situation of 1745 has been reconstructed.
