1898 François Joris  new organ
1956 Paul Anneessens  rebuild
1982 Philippe Busschaert  restoration

  • François Joris delivered a two-manual organ for the Sint Amandkerk in Roeselare in 1898. In 1956, Paul Anneessens completely transformed it into a three-manual electro-pneumatic instrument. The organ case was removed and the pipework was opened up. The organ was dedicated again on Easter Day 1957. The organ was restored by Philippe Busschaert in 1982. The restoration was completed on 28 November 1982 and the organ could be put back into use.
  • The church building was closed in 2014 and withdrawn from worship. Jean Bruggeman bought the Joris organ, which had been not playable for many years. It was dismantled on 12 and 13 September 2018. The pipe work was saved to be used for other organs. The church building is in use as a market square.
