In 1860, the company Merklin built an organ for the newly built Église Sainte-Marie in Tinchebray. The instrument was transferred in 1900 by the same company to the Église Saint-Martin in Condé-sur-Noireau. In order to protect the organ, it was disassembled and stored in 1939. In the years 1955-1956, Saluste Duval and Hector Panier reinstalled it in the church. Jean-Marc Cicchero carried out a restoration in 2001.
