Former organ
After the construction of the temporary wall at the back
of the church, a tribune was built there. The parish then
bought a second-hand organ built at the beginning of the
20th century by the Maison Cavaillé-Coll Pleyel. The
instrument came from a living room adjacent to the
Pleyel Concert Hall, which explained the lack of façade.
The instrument had two keyboards enclosed in an
expressive box.
In 1960, Picaud changed the stoplist. Two pedal stops
were added to the back of the instrument. They were
later transferred to the front in order to mask the
jealousies of the expressive box.
This church was built in 1934 under the leadership of
Cardinal Verdier. Unfinished, it was blessed in 1936.
On the occasion of the 80thème anniversary of the
church, in 2016, the parish decided to restore the
church and complete the missing façade. It was
inaugurated in 2020. The neo-Romanesque church is
now well enhanced by its contemporary glass façade.
It has a beautiful icon of the Perpetual Relief as well
as furniture with enamels, due to Brother François
Cassingena-Trévédy, monk of the abbey of Ligugé.
Current organ
In 2016, on the occasion of the creation of a new façade,
it was decided to provide the church with a new tribune
to accommodate a new organ. The parish bought the old
organ of the Evangelical parish of Dusseldorf-Urdenbach.
The organ comes from the factor Alfred Fuhrer and was
built in 1969. The instrument, contained in a mahogany
buffet, consists of 18 stops over 2 keyboards. Its transfer
to Asnières was completed by François Delangue in June
2020. It was inaugurated on November 14, 2020 on the
occasion of the inauguration of the restored church.
