- A new organ was built in 2005-2006 by Jos Moors and Helmut De Backer for the chapel of the Sisters of the Holy Hears of Jesus and Mary, Burchtstraat in Ninove. The monastery was founded in 1836. It is an organ with two manuals and pedal. Five manual registers are on switchable slides, so that they can be used on either manual I or manual II. The organ was completed in April 2006 and was consecrated on May 1st. The official inauguration took place on September 24, 2006. The organ replaced a nineteenth-century organ by Anneessens, which, however, had been in an unplayable state for a long time and had been radically modified. Some registers have been taken from this organ.
- The monastery has been closed after the departure of the last sisters in October 2021. In 2022, a part of the monastery was demolished and the historic buildings are being restored. The chapel has been given a museum destination. The organ has been transferred to the parish church of Sint Pieters en Sinte Berlindis in Meerbeke. It has been given a place here in the nave of the church, close to the entrance.
