The organ contains older material: Pipes from 1846 by Henri De Volder


  • The organ in the organ gallery of the Église Saint-Rémy in Verlaine is in an unplayable condition. The instrument was probably built around 1910 by the company J. Joris & fils. It is a two-manual organ with pneumatic action. Pipework was taken over from the church's previous organ, built by Henri De Volder in 1846. Joris's organ was modified around 1935. The disposition is also no longer the original. The Salional 8' of the Récit has been cut down to a Quinte Douce. Furthermore, the Quinte and Mixture of the Grand Orgue are not original, as is the Flûte Ouverte of the Récit.
  • After World War II, the organ fell into disrepair. In 1988, the company Verschueren placed a second-hand organ on the transept of the church. Since then, the main organ is no longer in use.
