- The organ in the Église Notre-Dame d'Aubenton was bought for the church in 1791. The organ is dated to around 1670, and probably comes from a closed monastery. The organ was installed in Aubenton by Michel Kerst.
- The organ was restored by Sébastien Zeiger in 1854. In addition, new wind chests and keyboards with a size of 54 keys have been placed. The reeds of the Grand Orgue were also renewed. In 1855 he expanded the organ with a Récit Expressif with four stops and a treble windchest (c'-c'''). In 1883 the disposition was changed by Émile Déjardin. He also placed the Positif in a swell box.
- In 1917, the prospect pipes were removed. These were not replaced in zinc until 1961. In that year, the company Beuchet carried out a restoration. Since this time, the Récit is no longer in use. A complete restoration of the organ, based on the situation of 1854, has been prepared for many years.
