Saint Pierre

de Montrouge

82, avenue du Général Leclerc, 75014 Paris

Orgue de tribune OdC >

This Church was built in a Romano-byzanton style between 1863 and 1872, as part of the Haussmannian works, at the crossroads called the Quatre-Chemins, formed by the meeting of the avenues of Maine, Châtillon, Montrouge and the rue d’Orléans, by Joseph Auguste Émile Vaudremer, the architect in charge of the 14th arrondissement. It now occupies a triangular plot framed by avenue du Maine and avenue du Général-Leclerc, and its bell tower overlooks the central crossroads of the district, place Victor-et-Hélène-Basch. It is the noisiest church in Paris!
E6 This organ was built by Charels Spackman Barker in 1868, just after the organ of Saint Augustin, and it was the second organ in Paris with electrical traction. It was severly damaged during the Commune and reconstructed in 1891/1892 by Merklin (1892), who replaced the electrical system with his own Schmoele-Mol electro-pneumaticalsystem. Gutschenritter worked on the organ in 1917, 1918 and 1924 (three stops added). In 1935, Gutschenritter added four more stops and revised the mechanics and wind supply of the organ. In 1950-1951, Beuchet-debierre renovated the organ in a more neo-baroque direction and installed an electrical traction again. During the decennia which followed, several modifications were carried out, including a reharmonisation and addition of three stops by Jacques Picaud. The latest maintenance was carried out by Alain Léon.
