  • The organ of the Sint Joseph Church in Donk (which was dedicated in 1876) was placed in the church at the end of the nineteenth century. It possibly comes from the parish church of Heusen near Ghent. It is not known who built it, but there are indications that Louis Delhaye laid the foundation in 1712. In any case, it was converted in 1819 by Pieter Charles van Peteghem. The organ was restored by the Loncke company in 1972.
  • The instrument was restored again in 2013-2014 by Verschueren Orgelbouw in collaboration with Donaat van Overschelde (Zarren) for the wood carving and art studio Thienpont (Eke) for the polychromy. Consultant was Gabriël Loncke.
