- In 1643-1645 Jean Nicolas & Chrétien Dognon built a new organ for the Église Abbatiale de Saint-Pierre-aux-Monts in Châlons-en-Champagne. The instrument was sold in 1773 and placed in Pontigny by Jean Richard.
- The organ was restored in 1887 by Paul Chazelle. The Récit Expressif may have been installed at that time. In 1954, Joseph Gutschenritter carried out a restoration. The damage caused by the explosion of an ammunition train at Potigny station has been repaired. In the years 1990 to 2015 the organ was maintained by Robert Masset.
