Convent of Saint Anthony of Padua, B-Brussels
François-Bernard Loret 1874
François Bernard Loret built an organ for the monastery church of Saint Anthony of Padua in Brussels in the years 1872-1874. This church had been built in the neo-Gothic style in the years 1868 to 1872. Advisors on the construction of the organ were J.-B. Coppens and Father Julien. Both men also provided the inaugural concert on 19 March 1874. In the years 1923-1925, Albert De Lil worked on the organ. He probably changed the stop action to pneumatic, and the disposition was also changed. The Prestant 4' of the Grand Orgue was probably placed in the place of the Bombarde 16'. Furthermore, the Flûte 4' and the Trompette 8' of the pedal were probably placed by De Lil. The Flûte 4' takes the place of the Grand Bourdon 16'. The Trompette could have been made from pipework of the Bombarde 16' of the Grand Orgue and takes the place of the original Contrebasse. It is also notable that the Fourniture lacks the fifth (highest) choir. Finally, he expanded the size of the pedal from 27 to 30 keys.
In 2011/2012, the Schumacher carried out a restoration. On 13 June 2012, François Houtart re-inaugurated the organ.

Church of the Dominican Fathers, B-Brussels
Gebroeders Van Bever 1910
In 1910, the Van Bever brothers built an organ for the Dominican church in Brussels. In 1957, the organ was modified by the firm G. Delmotte. On the Grand orgue the Gambe was replaced by a Doublette, on the Positif the Unda Maris was changed to a Voix Céleste and on the Récit he replaced the Voix Céleste by a Tierce. The pedal was extended with a Prestant 4'.
In 2013/2014, the organ was restored by Jean-Pierre Draps under the advice of Michel Goossens. This involved restoring the original disposition.

Abbey Church of Saint Benedict, B-Maredsous
Georg Westenfelder 2009
The organ of the abbey church in Maredsous was built in 1898 by Cloetens. In 1936, the organ was moved and enlarged by the Aeolian Willis. A conversion followed by Delmotte in 1951. On 3 June 1951, the organ was recommissioned. The solemn consecration was followed by an organ concert by René Tellier and Charles Hens. The organ was given two consoles, on the organ gallery and on the church floor in the choir. Parts of the organ were set up on the gallery, and parts near the altar.
In 2009, the organ was completely overhauled by Westenfelder. Wind provisions were completely renewed, pipework was replaced where necessary. Some stops are even completely new. A complete new console with setzer system was also installed.
