1884 Pierre Schyven & Cie.  new organ
ca. 1950 Émile Dresse  enlargement

  • In the church of Rettigny there is an organ by Pierre Schyven, from around 1880. It was placed in the church after 1950, and may have been acquired from the church of Lonzée. Émile Dresse installed a new organ in this church in 1946. The Schyven organ may have been placed in Rettigny by Dresse, and provided with a new front.
  • According to information from Lonzée, the organ was built in 1884. It was damaged by a fire on the altar of the church in 1946. Émile Dresse then built a new organ, preserving the old lower case. Schyven's work would then have been used in the construction of the organ in Rettigny.
