- The organ in the Église Saint-Hubert in Verviers was built in 1879-1880 by Charles Anneessens. Consultant was August Wiegand. The organ was built by Anneessens for an exhibition at the Société Libre de l'Emulation in Liège, and was installed in the church in 1881. In 1905 Anneessens placed a Barker lever for the Grand Orgue.
- During the Second World War, the organ was damaged. It was not repaired after the war. The interior of the organ case had partly disappeared. Some pipework was used by Westenfelder for the construction of a new transept organ in the church, which was completed in 1971.
