- In Lobbes there is a large church on a hill above the town. The church is an old monastery church, dedicated to Saint-Ursmer. The church has a relatively small organ, built in 1818 by François-Joseph Rifflart. It has an eleven-stops manual and attached pedal. It is not known who worked on the organ, but the Montre and Gambe were most likely added later, probably by Kerkhoff in 1922. In 1948 the organ was restored by Emile Dresse.
- Due to the installation of hot air heating in 1976, the organ soon became unplayable. For the time being there was a small positive installed on the church floor, in the south aisle. The restoration of the organ was performed by Guido Schumacher in the years 2013-2017. On November 3, 2017, the organ was put back into use with a concert by Philippe Händlass.
