One of the showpieces of St Nicholas's church
is un-questionably the romantic organ built by the famous workshop
Cavaillé-Coll in Paris. The new organ from the middle of the 19th century
replaced the old organ by Van Peteghem. Most organs of the former
generation were later equipped with broader pipes to produce more volume
but this one remained more or less intact, apart from the incorporation of
the Baker-mechanism and an electric fan. The organ case was designed by
architect Jacques Van Hoecke, who had already established his fame. |
