  • The old Hospital of Saint John in Veurne was founded in the thirteenth century. In the seventeenth century a new building was erected in the city itself. The guest house was served by nuns. The current chapel dates from the years 1769-1770. Not long after 1918, the sisters moved their convent to Vladslo. The buildings were left empty, but the organ remained in the chapel. In 1956 the complex was taken into use by the Diocesan College for Boys.
  • In 1838, Pierre Charles Van Peteghem built a small organ for the chapel. Leonardus De Vynck installed the instrument on March 7, 1839. The organ was modified around 1920 by Frans Vos. In the years 1973-1975 it was restored by the company Loncke under the supervision of Ghislain Potvlieghe and Antoon Fauconnier. There is no wind blower, but the wind is supplied by means of a foot pump.
