- In 1940, during the bombing of Rotterdam, the large organ of Wolfferts / Bätz from 1792 in the Sint Laurenskerk was lost. This instrument, the largest in the Netherlands, could not be rebuilt. After the church restoration was completed, it was decided to have a large new main organ built. Fundraising started in 1968 and the plans were announced. The starting point was an instrument on which all literature could be played. It was given a traditional Dutch main work, a Spanish chamade work, a romantic upper manual ('Bovenwerk') in a swell box. The very extensive pedal received various reed works. The Danish firm Marcussen & Søn got the contract to build the instrument. The organ was put into use on December 8, 1973 with a concert by Johann Th. Lemckert, organist of the church. Once again, the largest church organ in the Netherlands was in Rotterdam.
- In 2022 a project started for a renovation of the organ, with a freestanding console on the church floor as an addition. The former organ of the Heilige-Familiekerk in Rotterdam-North will also be connected to this console. This instrument will be installed in the choir of the church. The entire project is scheduled to be completed in 2026.
