The organ in the parish church of Allonnes was built in 1895 by Joseph Merklin for the Église Notre-Dame in Sainte-Pazanne. It has been relocated many times in its history. Louis Bonn installed it in the Église Saint-Fiacre in Parnay around 1920, and in 1930 it moved to the chapel of the Collège Saint-Louis in Saumur. It was only in 1956 that it came to Allonnes, where it was installed by Joseph Beuchet. Beuchet carried out a restoration in 1963.
