Great organ of Nancy Cathedral
The great organ of the cathedral of Nancy has been built from 1756. It takes place on a gallery above the central doorway of the Notre-Dame-de-l'Annonciation cathedral in Nancy.
== Dupont - 1763 ==
The great organ was originally built by Nicolas Dupont, the major organ builder in ''Lorraine'' during the 18th century, who also famously built the great organs of Toul cathedral and Verdun cathedral, among others. His work at Nancy is the biggest he ever made, and was at that time the biggest organ in the ''Duché de Lorraine'', duchy which remained independent from France until 1766. The works started in 1756 and were finished 1763 in the newly built cathedral, which was not back then yet a cathedral but officially a ''primatiale''. The bigger organ in Nancy (44 stops) compared to the one in the Toul cathedral can be seen as a rivalry between the two cities, as Nancy claimed the become the center of the episcopacy.
The organ’s monumental 16-foot case was probably designed by Jean-Nicolas Jennesson and is truly remarkable and typical of its time. Dupont also contributed to its conception as the case can be easily compared to his prior work at Toul cathedral, and was later used as a model for the construction of the Verdun great organ.
The case occupies all the organ gallery's width. A rare elegance as well as a sumptuous balance are achieved through the two central 16-foot turrets that surround the convex central turret, overlooked by carved-wood garlands and a central heraldry.
