  • Félix van der Brande delivered an organ to a private individual in Amiens in 1926. The organ was transferred to the chapel of the Grand-Séminaire in 1935. The organ was transferred in 1978 by Robert Camus to the Église du Sacré-Coeur-Immaculée-de-Marie in Amiens, 3 Rue Edmond Rostand.
  • It has been completely rebuilt. The organ originally had ten stops, including transmissions. During the rebuild by Camus, four registers were placed on a new windchest, and the traction was also newly installed. The old organ stood in its entirety in a swell box. This was removed by Camus.
  • The organ has been relocated to in the Église Sainte-Thérèse in 1989. The stop list has been extended in the course of time.
