  • The organ in the Catharina Church in Ruisbroek is a seventeenth century instrument. It was taken over in 1785 from the Falcontinne Monastery, which had to be closed. It was transferred without the positive organ ('Rugpositief'). Not much has been modified on the organ over time, but the keyboard has been partly renewed. The organ may have been built by Nicolaus van Hagen.
  • The organ was renovated in 1959, after which it was put back into use on January 3, 1960 with a concert by Adriaan Verbaak, organ and Margaretha Bank, vocals. The church is called 'Our Lady's Church' in Ruisbroek-Sauvegarde in the program.
