  • Hippolyte Loret built an organ for the Église Sainte-Grimonie in La Capelle en Thièrache in 1867. The entire instrument is located in a swell box. The pedal has no stops of its own, but can be linked to the Grand Orgue. For the Trompette 8' and the Clairon 4' there are extra keys in the contra-octave (ravalement).
  • In 1998 the organ was restored and expanded with a Cor Anglais on the Récit.
