- The old church of Herseaux was destroyed by a fire in 1860. After the construction of a new church, an organ was built in 1874 by Constatin Delmotte. It was dedicated on January 28, 1874. The organ had one manual with ten registers and an attached pedal. There was a reserved slide on the windchest, where a Flûte Octaviante 4' was placed in 1898 by Edouard and Théophile Delmotte.
- The organ was built in 1955 by Jos. Loncke converted into a two-manual organ. A new console has been installed. The disposition has been expanded with a Nasard and the other stops are divided over the two manuals. The Cornet has been removed. The organ was inaugurated with a concert by Michel Lepers. The Gambe 8' of the Récit was replaced in 1981 by Jean Bruggeman by a Plein-Jeux 2 rangs.
- Another organ has been installed in the church in 2022. It is not clear whether Delmotte's organ was moved to another church or was demolished.
