- The organ in the Église Saint-Martin in Montcornet was originally built in 1718 for the abbey church of Saint-Martin in Laon. The maker is unknown. The organ was transferred to Montcornet by François Raulin in 1797, after the cloister was closed. The organ was restored by Augustin Zeiger in 1869.
- During the First World War, the organ was damaged, in particular by the removal of part of the metal pipework by the German army. The organ was reconstructed in two phases in 1951 and 1969 by Paul-Marie Koenig.
