- Until 1963 there was an organ by Van Peteghem from 1834 in the church of Villeroux. The church itself is newer, it was consecrated in 1874. The organ came from Galmaerden and was placed in Villeroux in 1875 by Pieter Anneessens. However, this organ was sold in 1963 and has been in the Protestant church in Brussels ever since.
- After the sale, an electronic organ was initially installed. In 1974 a pipe organ was bought from the convent of the Sisters of Our Lady Visitation on the Onderstraat in Ghent, built around 1900 by P. Vergaert-Gulinck from Ghent. It was acquired via the organ builder Aerts & Castrel from Duffel, and extended with an independent pedal by M. Sébille.
