The organ in the Église Saint-Crépin in Château-Thierry was built in an old organ case, that was acquired from the abbey church of the Abbaye de Charme. Charles Anneessens built a new organ for the church in 1895-1896. He constructed a new organ case, but kept the old positif in the gallery, although without interior pipes. In 1968 a new organ was placed in both cases by Gaston Gutschenritter. Much material has been taken from Anneessens' pipework.
