Description nr.: 2003237.
Built by: Leonard Drijvers (1878)
The organ contains older material: Organ case and pipes from 1775 by Aegidius-Franciscus Van Peteghem
Not much is left of Van Peteghem's original organ from 1775. Mainly the facade and a few registers. The instrument was modernized in 1878 by the Leonard Drijvers. This meant building a new romantic organ in the old cases using only a small portion of the existing pipework. Gerard d'Hondt radically rebuilt the organ again in 1959. The organ was restored in 2010 by Pels-D'Hondt Orgelbouw, Herselt. It has also been expanded with a small Bovenwerk, playable from the second manual, with three stops.
