In 1994-1995 Georg Westenfelder built an entirely new organ for Luxembourg Cathedral, which was placed in the gallery on the west side of the nave. Georges Haupt's organ from 1938, present here, was only a small part of the total instrument, and has been removed. The rest of this organ, in the transept, has been left standing and has been renovated in 2022.
