In 1923, Father Daniel Brottier became in
charge of the Orphans of Auteuil and decided to
build a chapel when he had no funds and
Auteuil's work was in a precarious financial
situation. A benefactor contributed the
necessary money to start the work. The chapel,
designed by architects Henri Chailleux father
and son, is in neo-Gothic style. It is inspired by
the Sainte Chapelle.

The instrument was built in 1930-1931 by Abbey in collaboration
with Henri Libert who was responsible for the artistic design. The
electropneumatic traction (with box chests patented by Casavant)
was designed on the plans and indications of Casavant, which was
totally innovative for the time. At that time, it allowed more than 80
combinations to be recorded.
The instrument was housed in a magnificent two-body buffet
designed by Rude and executed by Auteuil's apprentices.
Today, the instrument is silent and replaced by an electronic organ.
