- Peter Kahn and Gerard Maas built the organ of the Église de la Conversion de Saint-Paul in Baelen in 1841. When building the instrument they used some exisiting material, like a number of ranks and de windchest of the Positif. The organ case was manufactured by Jean-Jacques Hupperts from Baelen.
- Emile-Henri Kerkhoff installed an electric windblower in 1923. In 1960-1961 the organ was renovated by Ernst Kühn under consultancy of abbé Paul Schoonbroodt. On April 23, 1961, the instrument was inaugurated again with a concert by Pierre Froidebise.
- The organ is not complete: a number of drawers are missing, and some are blocked. On the chest of the Grand Orgue there are three spare places, and on the Positif there is one. The three reeds of the Pédale are missing.
