  • The old organ of the Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste in Welkenraedt must be dating from around 1850, but the maker is unknown. The organ is standing in the tower arch on the gallery. It is known that Pereboom & Leijser carried out maintenance work in 1875. Oscar Anneessens overhauled the instrument in 1919 and in 1927. But probably in the seventies of the 20th century, the organ was in a bad condition and taken out of use. The console was removed and parts of this are since located on top of the bellows. A small modern organ was installed in front of the old instrument.
  • The specification is taken over from the pipes on the chests. The Trompette (?) of the Grand Orgue is missing, the slide is empty. Probably this stop has never been installed. It is likely that the Sesquialter was installed in later time, maybe it replaced a Voix Céleste. The four pedal stops are uncertain, they all were transmissions of the Grand Orgue.
