In 1745, Louis Delhaye built a new organ for the St. Benedict's Church in Mortsel, replacing an instrument by Hans Goldfusz from 1652. Delhaye's interior was replaced in 1886 by a new organ from the company Stevens-Vermeersch. Some older pipework has been reused in the construction. Around 1970 Jos Stevens changed the disposition. The organ was restored in 2010 by the Consultare company.
