  • In 1893-1894, Delmotte built a new organ for the chapel of the Franciscan convent in Lille. The organ was dedicated on November 30, 1894. There was an open space on the Récit upon completion, where a Voix Humaine 8' was placed in 1900. The pedal stops are all Grand Orgue transmissions.
  • The organ has been preserved almost unchanged. However, there are two important mutations: the swell box of the Récit has been removed and the Trompette 8' of the Grand Orgue has been replaced by a Doublette 2'. The register button still says Trompette. The organ fell seriously into disrepair. In 1990 it was restored by a number of enthusiasts, so that it could be played again. The company Delmotte carried out an overhaul in 2007.
