Great organ of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, Pipe organ in Notre-Dame Cathedral, France
The Grand Organ contains five keyboards, 115 stops, and approximately 8,000 pipes spread across multiple levels of the cathedral western facade.
The earliest organ at Notre-Dame appeared in 1403, with the current structure dating from 1868 when Aristide Cavaille-Coll performed extensive modifications.
Musicians and composers from different centuries have created numerous musical pieces specifically for this instrument, making it central to French sacred music.
Following the 2019 cathedral fire, specialists began a complete restoration process, dismantling and cleaning each component to remove accumulated lead dust.
The organ's largest pipes measure 32 feet in height, producing deep bass notes that resonate throughout the stone walls of the cathedral.
