  • The organ in the Église Saint-Amand in Luingne was built in 1863 by Louis-Benoît Hooghuys. It has an organ case in gothic revival style. In 1921 the organ was renovated by Jules Anneessens, and in 1927 he installed an electric wind motor. The organ was rebuilt in 1964 by the Loncke company. Only the pipe work and the facade of the original instrument have been preserved. Keyboard, mechanisms, windchests and wind supply are newly made. The disposition has been expanded with a Fourniture and a Trompette. Loncke shortened the Voix Céleste to a Nasard 2 2/3'.
  • Pierre Decourcelle overhauled the organ in 1994-1995.
