- The organ of the Église Saint-Claude in Besançon was built by Curt Schwenkedel in 1970, using some ranks from the previous organ. That instrument was constructed in 1935 by Jules Bossier. The Schwenkedel organ was overhauled by Bernard Aubertin in 1982.
- In 1999, the organ was restored by Nicolas Martel. At this occasion, the organ was expanded with a Trompette Allemande 8' on the Positif and a Posaune 16' on the Pédale.
