Description nr.: 2005989.

Built by: Builder unknown (ca. 1835)


The interior of the Église Saint-Georges in Limbourg was destroyed by a fire in 1834. After the church was rebuilt, the current organ must have been installed, but the exact date is unknown, and it is also unknown who built the instrument. It has a classical design, with a prospect that has resembles to the work of the Frères Molinghen. Some maintenance work has been carried out, but it seems that the organ has survived without modifications during time.
