  • In 1928 a new organ was dedicated in the church of Saint John Baptist in Wildert. The church building was dedicated in 1886, but at that time a second hand organ was installed. The new organ was built by the company Jos. Stevens. It was a gift of the parish to the pastor, because of the 50-year jubilee of the parish foundation. On November 11, 1928 the organ was dedicated, with a concert by Flor Peeters.
  • The church and the organ were destroyed through war activities in 1944.
