- The company Merklin-Schütze built an organ for the Sint Willibrorduskerk in Ossenisse, around 1869. The organ had one manual with six stops. In 1961 the instrument was transferred to the chapel of the Lazarist monastery in Wernhoutsburg by the company Vermeulen. From the original instrument only the organ case was re-used. The interior comes from an organ in the chapel of the Charitasziekenhuis (Hospital) in Steenbergen. This organ had been built around 1870, but the builder is not known.
- In 1975, after a restoration by the company Gebr. Vermeulen, it was relocated to the Sint Franciscuskerk, Azurietdijk 91 in Roosendaal. The Sint Franciscuskerk and the organ were dedicated on October 4, 1975. The building was originally a farmhouse, that had been rebuilt.
- After a last service on October 7, 2001, the Sint Franciscuskerk was closed for regular services. The organ was sold a couple of years later. In 2008, it was transferred to the Sint Corneliuskerk, Kapelaan Kockstraat 44 in Steenbergen-Welberg. But this church closed after a last service on November 1st, 2014. The organ was then relocated again, to the Sint Quirinuskerk in Halsteren.
