- In 1855, Pierre Ducroquet built an organ for Notre Dame in Roubaix. The instrument was first exhibited at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. The organ is built with three manuals and pedal. In 1856 it could be dedicated to Notre Dame. Aristide Cavaillé-Coll carried out a restoration in 1876.
- Part of the metal pipework was stolen during the First World War. This material was newly manufactured in 1923 by Pierre and Eloi Coupleux.
- The organ was restored by Félix van den Brande in 1927, and it was also partially renewed and modernized. On April 27, 1927 it was festively re-used. It was played by Pierre Peers. Charles Anneessens carried out a revision in 1942.
- 154/5000
The church was closed for worship in 1983. The building is currently being used as a party room for weddings. The organ is in an unplayable condition.
