the keyboard, with the legend "Manufactures of Grandes Orgues J. Merklin Paris - Lyon". At the beginning of this century the house was renamed "Merklin el Cie". The church dates back to 1881.

In any case, the instrument worked until the end of the 1950s. In 1985 it was damaged by the earthquake, but the state of serious deterioration in which it was finds denotes abandonment and human intervention. |
