- In the parish church of Raismes stands an organ that goes back to 1777, when Pieter Van Peteghem built a new organ for the abbey church of Vicoigne. This organ was enlarged by François-Henri Clicquot in 1780. But the instrument was transfered already in 1788 to the Église Abbatiale Saint-Jean in Valenciennes. In this church it was in use until 1864. Two major renovations were carried out here: in 1794 by Lambertus-Benoit Van Peteghem and in 1853 by Hippolyte Loret. In 1864 the organ was relocated to it's final destination, the Église Saint-Nicolas in Raismes.
- René Godefroy restored the organ in 1977.
