2007 Pels & Van Leeuwen  restoration

  • In 1961 the Vermeulen company installed a small organ in the Verrijzeniskerk (Church of the Resurrectio) in Espel. When this church had to be closed, the organ was transferred to the Sint Willibrorduskerk in Beilen in 1988. The church building in Beilen was originally built in 1847 as a Reformed Church and in 1883 the building was enlarged. The Dekker company installed a new organ in the church in 1909. In 1923 the building was enlarged again, but in 1957 a new church was built. The old building was now sold to the parish of Saint Willibrordus.
  • In 2006/2007 the organ was restored by Pels & Van Leeuwen. It was redidcated on May 20, 2007.
  • The organ was sold in 2019, after which another organ was taken over from the Reformed Municipality in Waalwijk.
