  • The organ in the Sint Pieterskerk in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw was built in its original form around 1800. The maker is not known, but according to tradition it is attributed to Adrien Rochet, although Antoine Coppin is also thought to be the maker. In any case, it was built after a conversion of the church building in the years 1783-1784. In 1884, the Stevens firm rebuilt the organ in new cases, made by Franciscus Pouliart. Stevens split the organ into two parts, with the west window kept visible between the cases.
  • The organ has been modified by Theo Boeckx over time. In 1975 the Loncke company carried out a restoration.
