Chapelle du Lycée
Jacques-Decour
12, avenue Trudaine ,75009 Paris1974-1982 - Braun-Mauguin-Swiderski
II/20 - mechanical traction - stoplist
The Jacques-Decour High School and the
chapel were built in 1876 on the site of the
Montmartre slaughterhouses,demolished in
1867.
In 1893, a organ was built by a so-called ‘Muret’ . Is it
Suret? Typical of the accompanying organs of that time,
the instrument consisted of 8 stops.
Very degraded due to infiltrations, the instrument was
replaced by a Polyphone. Then, Hervé Braun, a student
of the high school, launched a construction project for
a new instrument. From 1974 to 1982, the instrument
was built by former students and teachers under the
guidance of the organ builder Swiderski, who
harmonized the instrument. The organ consists of 20
stops over two manuals and pedal. It is of neo-Baroque
aesthetics and was inaugurated in 1982.
