  • The parish church of the village Cornesse was consecrated in 1896. The organ of the church is older, but the original maker is unknown. And so are the year of build and the original location. Based on various characteristics the instrument is attributed to the Molinghen Frères. It could have been built around 1875.
  • It is also not certain when the organ was installed in Cornesse. Xavier Wetzel rebuilt the organ somewhere between 1906 en 1923, in what case the stop list is modified. Emile Kerkhoff installed a electric blower in 1928.
