  • The Saint Peter's Church in De Panne was the oldest parish church in the village. The church was built in 1887 and expanded in 1891. The tower was added in style in 1934. The church contained an organ, the maker and year of construction of which are unknown. It may have been built in or not long after 1891. G. Cloetens is mentioned as the maker, but this is not certain. The organ contained various pipework. Some existing pipework was used during construction. A wind motor was installed by Jules Anneessens in 1927. In 1946 Anneessens carried out a revision. He replaced two reeds with a new Fourniture.
  • The organ was rebuilt and modified in 1985 by the Loncke company. Loncke only used a small part of the existing pipework, renovated the windchest, built a new keyboard and a new traction. Space was reserved for a possible expansion with a small positive (Borstwerk).
  • The St. Peter's Church was closed in 2023. The building will be refurbished as a library. The organ was transferred to the Kerk van Onze Lieve Vrouw ter Duinen in Koksijde-Bad by the De Munck-Claessens company in September 2023.
