  • Arnold Clerinx built a new organ for the Église Saint-Roch in Bilstain in 1859. The construction is typical for Clerinx, where all stops of the Positif also sound on the Grand Orgue, except two (Gemshorn and Violine). The previous organ of Bilstain was sold to the parish of Julémont.
  • Maintenance was carried out in 1957 by François Joris.
