This flamish organ was build by Guillaume Van Belle in 1696 and has been restored by Pierre Decourcelles (Belgium) in 2005. The reconstruction of the missing positif has been executed by Bertrand Cattiaux's workshop in 2012. The wind supply, note mecanic, stop mecanic and the radial windchest had to be recreated, in copy of the techniques of the organbuilder Van Belle. The pipes were build following the famish tradition with pipes in laminated or hammered lead.

Voicing was done by Jean-Marie Tricoteaux in association with Itaru Sekiguchi of the Atelier Cattiaux
