Saint-Riquier abbey church, pipe organ in an abbey church in Saint-Riquier, France

The organ of Saint-Riquier abbey church stands on the west wall of the nave. Its light-coloured solid oak case, in pre-Romantic style, has a central body with three turrets and concave wings added around 1730–1731. The carved case holds vertical metal pipes, and a black wrought-iron railing with scrollwork runs below.

The current organ was installed in 1731, brought from the Premonstratensian abbey of Chartreuve in the Aisne; organ builder Louis Labour handled the transfer and worked on it again in 1748. The Basilian monks of Valloires overhauled it in 1824, repaired it in 1835-1836 and did a full overhaul in 1854. Salomon van Bever of Amiens modified it at the end of the 19th century, and Laurent Plet of Troyes restored it from 2001 to 2005 to the 1852 registration.

The organ case is solid light-varnished oak in a pre-Romantic style; its central body with three turrets and the positif are Louis XIV in style, while the concave wings appear to have been added in 1730-1731. The instrument came from the Premonstratensian abbey of Chartreuve in the Aisne and was installed here in 1731 by builder Louis Labour, who worked on it again in 1748.

The organ stands on the west wall of the nave, above the black wrought-iron railing with scrolling patterns; look up from the nave floor to see the carved oak case and its three sections. The instrument and its case are classified as monuments historiques, so viewing is from the church interior rather than close to the pipes.

Most of the pipes date from the 17th century: the whole positif except the cromorne, plus five stops of the grand-orgue. The 1854 overhaul by the Basilian brothers of Valloires Abbey followed earlier tuning in 1824 and repairs in 1835 and 1836. Laurent Plet's 2001-2005 restoration returned the registration to its 1852 state.
