  • In 1993, the Bruggeman-Baert company built a new four-manual organ for the Église Sacré-Coeur (Paterskerk or Heilig Hartkerk) in Mouscron, which was located on the church floor. In the church there was an organ from Delmotte in a neo-gothic organ case of the Neuville company. This organ has been demolished, but the organ case was sold to be placed in Alicante by the Spanish organ maker Rico Sala.
  • The church building in Mouscron was decommissioned in June 2019. The organ was transferred by Jean Bruggeman to the Église Saint-Maur in Herseaux. The instrument is enlarged and equipped with pedal towers, the front pipe work of which comes from the organ in the Sint Amanduskerk in Roeselare. On May 22, 2022, the organ has been dedicated. The inauguration concert was played by Rui Soares with Fabiana Magalhães, soprano.
