Built by: Aerts & Castrel (ca. 1990)


  • The complex of the 'Pensionaat van de Zusters van het Heilig Hart van Maria', Terhulpensesteenweg 708 in Maleizen was built in the years 1866-1878. It was in use until the seventies of the twentieth century, and then stood empty for more than twenty years. The complex, located on the Terhulpensesteenweg 708, was purchased and restored in 1997, and has been in use under the name 'Oude Klooster Maleizen' (The Old Cloister Maleizen). The company Aerts & Castrel built a two-manual organ with seven stops for the chapel, which is placed on the gallery on the west side.
  • In 2019 another organ was acquired from a church in Watermaal-Bosvoorde. The instrument by Aerts & Castrel was sold to the Academy in Vilvoorde as a study organ. For the time being it is relocated to the main church of Vilvoorde, the Kerk van Onze Lieve Vrouw van Goede Hoop. On October 4, 2020, it has been dedicated on this location.
