The organ in the church of Resteigne is a special instrument. It was originally built by Georges Cloetens as a house organ for the royal palace in Laeken (Brussels). The year of construction is not known, but is likely between 1900 and 1920. The organ is equipped with a device that can play music rolls. In 1950 the instrument was sold by Prince Charles to the parish of Resteigne. The organ was placed here in the gallery on the west side of the church. In 1978 the organ was renovated by Joseph Gomrée and moved to the church floor.
