Argoules Valloires abbey, Historical pipe organ in Valloires Abbey, France.
The pipe organ features three keyboards of 54 notes each, a 30-note pedalboard, and mechanical transmissions for both stops and notes.
The oak and lime wood organ case, built between 1750 and 1756 by Simon Pfaff de Pfaffenhoffen, underwent modifications in 1845 by the Basilian brothers.
The Basilian brothers, who came from Mons in Belgium, specialized in organ making and expanded the instrument to 32 stops across three manuals.
The instrument, positioned on the west wall of the nave, maintains its 19th-century pipes along with four stops from the 17th and 18th centuries.
The 1993 restoration by Théo Haerpfer returned the sound configuration to the Basilian period while preserving the historical elements.
