- The organ in the parish church in Voerendaal was built in 1844 by the Franssen brothers, using much 18th century pipework. Pereboom & Leijser renewed the wind chests and the mechanics in 1859. They placed the pipes of both manuals on one double chest. The bottom of the organ case has been widened by them. They also installed an independent pedal. In a later restoration, the pedal compass was increased by nine keys, and a Euphone 8' was placed on the Positive.
- In 1975 the instrument was restored by Verschueren, during which the Euphone was removed and replaced by a Doublette 2'. On September 26, 1976, the organ was put back into use with a solemn high mass in which the Limburg Vocal Ensemble participated. In the evening, Hans van der Harst, consultant with the restoration, gave a concert together with the Mixed Church Choir.
- The organ was restored again in 2021-2023 by the Verschueren company. It was inaugurated again om Augst 11, 2023/
