1914 Jean-Emile Kerkhoff  new organ
  Joseph Sibret  restoration

  • Emile Kerkhoff built an organ for the Église Saint-Martin in Léglise in 1913. The instrument was constructed still completely mechanically built within a closed organ case. It was dedicated on February 15, 1914. Ernest Depienne played the organ on this occasion.
  • The organ has been preserved without changes. On September 20, 1982, the village was hit by a tornado, which also severely damaged the church building. The organ was subsequently dismantled and stored. There were plans to relocate it to the choir of the church with a new electric console. Fortunately, these plans did not go ahead, but the organ was rebuilt in its original location and restored to its original state by the Sibret company.
