  • The organ in the Sint Leonarduskerk in Aartselaar was built in the years 1778-1779 by Aegidius-Franciscus Van Peteghem. The instrument was expanded in 1788 with a positive, for which space had already been reserved during construction. After an extension of the church building, the organ was converted and expanded in 1868 by Hendrik Mondt-Groenewout. It was also placed in a new organ case, manufactured by Van Halle.
  • In 1880 the Viola di Gamba from 1868 was replaced by a new one by the Geurts company. The Voix Céleste was installed around 1900, but is made from existing pipework. Bertrand Couvreur restored the organ in the 1990's.
