For the organ he used pipe-work from the previous instrument built by Hendrick Hermans van Loon in 1679.
Timpe to the Der Aa-kerk because the Broerkerk/Academiekerk had to be restored to the Roman Catholic Church.
The remains of the buried bodies found in and around the church were reburied at the Roman Catholic churchyard in town.
The statue of Christ the King Jesus made by Jan Eloy Brom and his brother Leo Brom (placed in the church in 1936), was relocated to the Roman Catholic Churchyard cemetery in town.
