- The Auditorium Saint Nicolas is the former Église Saint-Nicolas, built as a Jesuits church, and later in 1803 transformed to be a parish church. The has been a Van Peteghem organ, dating from 1783, in the church. Around 1958 Erwin Müller built a new organ for the church, that was dedicated with a concert by Gaston Litaize. This organ had 29 stops. Probably some materrial of Van Peteghem was re-used.
- When the restoration of the Église Saint-Géry was completed, the church of Saint Nicolas was closed. The city of Valenciennes transformed the building to an auditorium. The organ was removed around 1980, it seems that is is lost.
