  • In 1880 a small organ with one manual was installed in the Église Saint-Nicolas in Wasquehal. A new and larger organ was built for this church by Gérarld Guillemin in 1988-1989. The old instrument was sold and relocated by Jean Bruggeman to the Église Immaculée-Conception-de-Notre-Dame in Wervicq-Sud. Later it was enlarged by Bruggeman with a second manual.
  • In 2008 a fire broke out in the church, that also damaged the organ. The instrument was restored by Bruggeman in 2009. The windchests and the organ case were renovated. The Gamba 8' is standing on the place of a Trompette, that was defect.
