  • The organ in the forest chapel in Buggenhout was built in 1686-1687 by Nicolas Langlez. A new gallery was created in 1762, and eight years later the organ was renovated by Pieter Van Peteghem. He renewed the keyboard, the bellows and part of the pipework. The organ then had eleven registers, a tremulant and a Rossignol.
  • In 1879 the organ was restored by François Loret and transferred to a new chapel. The Stevens firm carried out a revision in 1957. Not much is left of the 1770 disposition.
