ca. 1950 Ernst Kühn  rebuild
1983 André Thomas  restoration

  • On May 19, 1888, Pereboom & Leijser completed a new organ for the chapel of the Petit Séminaire Saint-Roch in Ferrières. Some older ranks were used during construction. Around 1950 the organ was modified by the company Ernst Kühn from Eupen. The stoplist was modified, the swell box was removed, new keyboards were installed and the organ bench was renewed.
  • The organ was put for sale in 1979. In 1983 Thomas restored the organ and placed it in the Église Saint-Martin in Visé. It is located in the transept of the church. On September 18, 1983 it was dedicated with a performance by Joseph Woltèche.
