The Saint Joseph’s Church in Brussels was consecrated in 1842. The building was designed in the Italian Renaissance style and features a striking façade with two elegant towers. In 1858, Hippolyte Loret completed an organ for this church, which was installed on the choir gallery at the west end. The organ remained unaltered for a long time, but in 1953 the firm H. Van de Loo carried out a reconstruction. The lower case was removed to create space for the choir, and the organ was enlarged with two rather unrefined side sections. A new electro-pneumatic action with a new console was installed. The Loret pipework has been preserved almost in its entirety.
