- In 1877-1878 a new parish church was built in Posterholt, designed in the Gothic Revival style by Johannes Kayser. The church was enlarged in 1926 after a design by his son, Jules Kayser. In 1885 the Gebroeders Franssen built a two-manual organ for the church. It had no visible prospect pipes. The pedal was attached. It is possible that the organ was converted and expanded in 1926.
- The church building was blown up in 1945 during the war. The ruins have since been cleared away, and a new church has been built elsewhere in the village, which was consecrated in 1951. The Franssen organ has been lost.
