• In April 1919, the Pels company installed a new organ in the parish church of Sint Jeroen in Noordwijk-Binnen. The previous instrument, which was originally built in 1787 by Hendrik Meijer for the church 'De Krijtberg' in Amsterdam, was probably demolished. Pels's organ initially had twelve stops, but space was reserved for another nine registers. It was dedicated on Easter Sunday, April 20, 1919. After the High Mass, Father J.C.W. van de Wiel played the dedication concert with works by Bach and Franck. The organ was completed by Pels in 1927.
  
• The instrument was completely overhauled, electrified and modified by Jos Vermeulen in 1973. The stop list was adapted to the ideas of this time.
  
• At the end of 2009/beginning of 2010, the swell box around the second manual was removed, probably because it had been infected by woodworm. In 2013, a Maarschalkerweerd organ was installed behind the facade of Pels by the company Adema. Some registers were taken over from the Pels organ to complete this instrument.
