- In 1839, Wilhelm Korfmacher built a new organ for the Église Saint-Remacle in Verviers. It replaced an instrument from 1707, that had been constructed by 'maître Antoine', probably Antoine Schiffers from Schelsen. This organ was transferred to the Église Saint-Antoine, where it remained until 1905.
- After the construction of a new church building, the organ was transferred by Pierre Schyven in 1881. The stop list was adapted, a Barker machine was installed and the wind pressure increased. In the beginning of the twentieth century repairs were made, but the organ was not altered at this time.
- André Thomas reconstructed the organ in 1968, with a more baroque specification and new mechanics. Consultant was abbé Nolens. On October 20, 1968, the organ could be re-dedicated. Joseph Woltèche played the inaugurational concert.
