- In the years 1853-1855 the firm Gebr. Müller built a new organ for the Abbey Church in Rolduc. Bernhard Pothast, organist of the abbey, played the organ during the dedication ceremony. It had 35 stops, two manuals and an independent pedal. On the second manual, an open space was reserved for a second reed. Pierre Cuypers designed the organ case.
- The organ was demolished around 1930 because the tower of the church had to be restored. In doing so, the old galery could not be maintained. Because the organ was not in very good condition and organist Pierre Zeijen wanted a modern organ, it was demolished and replaced by a completely new instrument from Klais.
