Before the French Revolution, a small organ was installed in the chapel of the Swedish Embassy, marking the first organ ever located in a Protestant church in Paris.
During the Revolution, the instrument was likely dismantled, and it is believed that some of its stops were incorporated into the organ of the Oratoire du Louvre after it was repurposed for Reformed worship.
In the former Swedish church, Cavaillé-Coll delivered a small organ, which was received on December 24, 1878. However, this instrument was probably sold during the construction of the new church in 1910.
Following the completion of the new building in 1920, Charles Mutin installed a new organ housed in an Art Deco-style case. In 1932, the organ underwent significant modifications by Beuchet, who added an independent Pedal division with pneumatic action.
In 1981, another major overhaul was carried out by Haerpfer, who made adjustments to align the instrument with neoclassical aesthetics.
Finally, in 1990, the aging instrument was replaced by a new organ built by the Swedish company Hammarberg, while the original Art Deco case was preserved and reused.
