  • The organ of the chapel of the Saint Stanislas College in Berchem was built for the Pavilion of the Protestant Churches at the world exhibition "Expo 1958" in Brussels. The organ is inspired by the choir organ in the Dom Church in Uppsala, built by Marcussen. The instrument was put into use in Brussels on 20 April 1958. During the construction, the builder was advised by the organ committee of the Dutch Reformed Church. After the exhibition it was placed in the Reformed Church in Geersdijk. The church building was later given the name Ontmoetingskerk.
  • In April 2012, the Ontmoetingskerk was put up for sale. After the the building had been sold, the PKN community of Wissenkerke-Geersdijk only used the Opstandingskerk (Church of the Resurrection) in Wissenkerke.
  • The organ was overhauled in 2013 by the company Pels-D'Hondt and transferred to the chapel of the Sint-Stanislas College in Berchem near Antwerp. The official inauguration was on October 13, 2013.
