  • Under consultancy of abbé Nikolaus Mertes, a pipe organ was acquired in 1909 for the chapel of Möderscheid. It is a small organ, with six stops, built by Johannes Klais. The organ has pneumatic action.
  • In 1954, lightning struck the church and a fire broke out. Because of this the organ had to be restored. The pipes were removed from the organ and stored, untill the church was restored. In 1955 the instrument was rebuilt by the Verschueren company of Tongeren.
  • Georges Baltes carried out a restoration in 1989. The organ was re-dedicated with a concert by Heinz Piront and Michel Mertes. In 1993 the bellows were renewed by Baltes.
