Orgue, basilique Saint-Quentin, Pipe organ in Basilica of Saint-Quentin, France

The grand organ features a dome structure with supporting columns and contains 75 stops distributed across four manuals and a pedal board.

Robert Clicquot constructed the original organ between 1699 and 1703, with a case designed by Jean Bérain and executed by Pierre Vaideau.

The instrument underwent multiple transformations through centuries, including a reconstruction by Antoine Sauvage around 1850 and restoration by Haerpfer-Erman in 1967.

The organ includes 61-note keyboard manuals and a 32-note pedal board with electric traction for both keyboards and stops.

During the French Revolution, the central dome's fleur-de-lis crown was removed and replaced with a lantern and cross.
