Originally, the great organ of the Saint-Antoine des Quinze-
Vingts was built by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll in 1894 for the
private house of the Baron de l’Espée in Paris. This organ was
transferred to the new Church of Saint-Antoine by
Gutschenritter in 1909. He added a 16’ Bombarde and a
Nasard to the GO, a Fourniture and a 16’ Basson to the Swell
and a 32’ Bourdon to the Pedal. The 16’ and 8’ Bassons of the
pedal were replaced by a 16’ Bombarde and an 8’ Trompette.
The pressures were probably increased. Later, he may have
increased the range of the Pedal to 32 notes, replaced the
Nasard of the GO by a Doublette and separeted the ranks of
the Carillon of the Positif.
In 1956, Pierre Chéron and Philippe Hartmann worked on the
organ and added a 4' Clarion to pedal.
In 1982, Jacques Barbéris, assisted by Marc Hédelin and
Philippe Mattéi, accomplished a comprehensive restoration,
restoring the Barker-lever machine and the conveyancing of
the basses.
In 1992-1992 Yves Fossaert cleaned and repaired the organ.
In 2004, more extensive restoration works were performed
by Fossaert, who replaced the Clairon 4’ of 1956 for a new
one.
Before the French Revolution, the territory
corresponding to the 12th arrondissement belonged
to the parish of Saint Paul and then to the sainte-
Marguerite estate. But two establishments had the
privilege of exercising the "cure of soul": the abbey of
Cistercian nuns of Saint-Antoine des Champs and the
hospice of the Quinze-Vingts, the foundation of St.
Louis.
The abbey was abolished in 1790 and the monastery
assigned to St. Anthony's Hospital in 1795. The new
parish of Saint-Antoine des Quinze-Vingts was
created on 4 February 1791 and received the abbey
as a place of worship. It was sold as a national
property in 1798 and then destroyed. The chapel of
the Quinze-Vingts hospice served as a parish church
for a century, until the construction of the present
church, which was completed in 1903 and dedicated
to Saint Anthony the Great on November 11, 1909.
