  • In 1958, the Stevens company built an organ for the Chapelle du Saint-Sacrament of the 'City of God' pavilion at the World Exhibition in Brussels. This pavilion itself contained a large organ, which was transferred to Borgerhout. Both organs were dedicated on April 20, 1958 with a concert by Flor Peeters. The small organ has six registers, five of which can be used optionally on both manuals and the pedal, and the Soubasse can only be used on the pedal. The appearance of the organ was designed by R. Bastin, architect in Namur.
  • The small organ from the chapel has been sold to the parish in Marloie. The organ was inaugurated in Marloie on December 21, 1958 with a concert by Charles Decapmaker, organist in Marche-en-Famenne.
  • Around 1993 the console was moved to the church floor. The organ was renovated by Romy Casteels. There were plans in 1994 to expand the instrument with a Trompette 8'.
