- On July 8, 1956, a new organ was consecrated in the parish church of Mersch. It was built by Georges Haupt. After a fire in the church at Christmas 1978, the instrument was no longer usable. It was decided to replace it with an organ in the choir, but the old organ remained in the organ loft. In 1996 it was finally completely cleaned and refurbished. In 2001, the disposition was expanded with two stops, after which it was rededicated on March 24, 2002, Palm Sunday. This was followed by a concert by the organists Luss Steffen, J. Santer and J.M. Bock.
- The organ was renovated in 2022. It was put back into use on November 13, 2022 with a concert by Carlo Philippe and Luss Steffen.
