- In 1897 an organ was built by Willem Pereboom and Jan Leijser for the parish church of Henri-Chapelle. The organ case dates from the 18th century. Emile-Henry Kerkhoff installed an electric blower in 1923 and overhauled the organ in 1927. In 1958 the organ was rebuilt by the company Joris. They moved the organ almost one meter back on the gallery. The action of the Positif was pneumatized, and the chest of the Positif was replaced by a cone chest. On the Grand Orgue the Clarinette 8' was replpaced by a Sesquialter.
- The church interior was restored in 1967. After these works, the organ was unplayable. Around 1985 the Grand Orgue was restored by Helmuth Seidel.
