Built by architect Pierre Gauthier from 1846 to 1854,
Lariboisière obeyed all contemporary imperatives of
health and convenience. Six pavilions, three for men,
three for women, are arranged symmetrically along a
rectangular courtyard.
The architecture of the Lariboisière Hospital was an
international success for its hygienist qualities. This
pavilion plan was taken up throughout Europe and as
far as the USA.
The chapel houses the funerary monument of
Countess Elisa de Lariboisière (1794-1851). In her will,
she left most of her fortune for the foundation of the
hospital that bears her name.

The instrument was built by Suret in 1855, as evidenced by a
label stuck in the background of the pallet box: "Suret, 117
Faubourg Saint-Martin, builder of Great Organs of The Church
and Accompanying Organs for choirs, Paris, 1855."
Around 1950, Gutschenritter installed an electric fan and
changed the stoplist.
In 1973, Swiderski, assisted by a certain Camus (organist of St
Vincent de Paul), made profound changes to its harmony. It was
also envisaged to complete the 30-note Pedal. This work was
never done.
