- In 1891 Walcker built an organ for the Holländische Kirche in Saint Petersburg. It was placed behind a prospect manufactured by G.L. Friedrich from 1832. In 1927 the organ was transferred to the concert hall of the academic chapel. During the transfer, the organ was expanded to 32 stops. The Rieger-Kloss company carried out a restoration and extension in 1967/1968, after which it had 55 stops, 27 of which were by Walcker. The historic prospect from 1832 has also been preserved.
- In 2007 the organ was restored by the company Eule. In addition, Walcker's original work has been restored to its original state as much as possible, with the missing stops being reconstructed. But in addition to this, various expansions were realized. All pipes were revoiced.
