The organ was dedicated on November 21, 1961, after which Flor Peeters played the inauguration concert. The organ is the last large instrument designed and constructed by Walter Holtkamp.
- In 2019-2020 the organ was renovated by Pasi Organ Builders and expanded with two new manual divisions and a number of pedal registers. A new four-manual console has been installed. The new divisions can be played from any manual.
