In 1836-1837, Aristide Cavaillé-Coll built one of his first organs (opus 6) for the Église Saint-Sauveur in Dinan. The instrument had two manuals and a pedal with 24 stops in total. It wasa dedicated on February 3rd, 1839. In 1903 it was radically renovated and renewed by Charles Mutin. There were nine ranks left from the old organ after this work. In 1966 the organ was again radically renovated by the Danion-Gonzalèz company. They split the organ case into two parts, so that the window became visible. Since then, seven stops of Cavaillé-Coll are still existing in the instrument.
