1935 Gebroeders Reygaert  new organ
1962 Jean Conrardy  maintenance/reparations

  • The organ in the chapel of the psychiatrical clinic of the Frères Alexiens in Henri-Chapelle was built in 1935 by the company Reygaert. Eight years before, a second hand organ was bought for the chapel from Emile Kerkhoff with six stops. It is not clear whether this organ was actually delivered or not, and if so, what has happened with the instrument. In 1962 maintenance was carried out by Jean Conrardy.
  • At the end of the 1994 there were plans to demolish the building where the chapel was located. The future of the organ was uncertain. However, it seems that the chapel itself is still in use (2020).
