Life

Nollet was born near Charleville in the French Ardennes . He moved to Luxembourg at the age of 25 . There he married Françoise Elisabeth, née de Couvy, in February 1706 in the church of St-Michel in Luxembourg , where he received citizenship in October of that year. He lived in Stadtgrund , the city's artisan quarter. His first son was baptized in 1708 in the local St. John's Church with the name Henricus Franciscus. His work took him to Germany, where he built several organs, including the one in Trier Cathedral from 1724 to 1727 . In 1794 this organ was destroyed when the French troops marched in.

On November 17, 1735 he died of consumption after a long illness in the parish of St. Michael in Luxembourg . His son Roman Benedikt Nollet and his grandson Johann Bernhard Nollet later continued the business.
