The organ contains older material: Pipes from 1785 by Lambertus-Benoit Van Peteghem


In the Sint Pieterskerk in Zulte there was an organ by Van Peteghem from 1785, which was extensively renovated by Oscar Anneessens in 1928. The Thomas company built a new organ in 2005, using the existing Van Peteghem pipework. Gottfried Silbermann's organs were taken as a source of inspiration. Thomas made a new organ case. The organ was dedicated on April 23, 2006, followed by a concert by Yves Senden, organist of the church and also advisor on the project, and Filip Amerlinck. The organ is tuned in a unequal temperament, which was designed by Luc Meurice and Dominique Thomas.
