  • The organ in Senlis Cathedral dates back to an instrument from 1647, built for the abbey church of Saint Vincent in Senlis. Particularly parts of the case and the front of this organ have been preserved. In 1760 François-Henri Clicquot built a new organ in these cases. After the monastery was closed, the organ was transferred to the cathedral in 1805, where it was restored in 1808 by François Dallery.
  • The Merklin firm carried out a major rebuild in 1874. The organ was modernized, but a lot of old material has been reused. The current structure was created in 1974 during a major restoration by Roger Lambert. In 1996 Jean-Marc Ciccheo performed an overhaul.
