Built on old backfilled gypsum quarries, the Church
of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus is perched ahead
of a flight of white steps. Its façade is composed of
apparent Saint-Maximin cobblers, sawn and
coarsely paired with deep cement joints. It is
topped by a square bell tower containing three
bells. Its modest dimensions and warm interior give
it an air of village church.
The first organ of the church was installed around 1937.
It was an old house organ built by Cavaillé-Coll. In 1979,
it was transferred to the new church by Erwin Muller
and re-harmonized in 1984 by Jean-Marc Cicchero.
Following damage from the great storm of 1999, the
instrument was deemed irreparable.
In 2007, Pels-Dhont installed a used instrument built in
1947 for the church of Wapenveld (the Netherlands).
