  • The organ in the Sint Michielskerk in Sittard was installed in 1906 by Theodorus Nöhren. But it is almost certain that the instrument had been manufactured by the company Klais. The organ cases were taken from the previous organ, and were constructed in 1782 by Ludwig König.
  • In 1957, the organ was restored and enlarged by Verschueren. The original pneumatic action has been electrified. Consultant during these works was Pierre Zeyen from Kerkrade. The organ was re-dedicated on June 30, 1957.
