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).More info
