- In 1873 Arnold Clerinx built an organ for the parish church of Theux. The organ has the typical construction of Clerinx, whereby a number of stops of the great work are automatically drawn on the positive as well. The organ was dedicated on Marc 24, 1874. Over time some modifications were made to the stop list: the Fourniture of the Grand Orgue was replaced with a Flûte 8', and the Dolce 4' of the Positif with a Céleste 8'.
- The instrument was restored in 1986 by André Thomas under the advice of Paul Nolens and Luc De Vos. The replaced stops were reconstructed. On October 31, 1986 the organ was put back into use with a concert by Patrick Wilwerth.
