- The organ in 'De Hoeksteen' ('The Cornerstone') in Amersfoort was built in 1968 by the Vierdag company from Enschede. The organ first stood in the Ontmoetingskerk, a Dutch Reformed Church that was constructed in 1966. The building was designed by Teun van Hoogevest. Consultant during the design and construction of the organ was Willem Hülsmann. The organ was inaugurated in December 1968.
- After the closure of the Ontmoetingskerk in 1984, the organ was transferred by B.A.G. Organ builders in 1988 to the newly built church in Amersfoort-Noord, 'De Hoeksteen'. The prospect of the organ was modified to the design of the architect of the church. The Ontmoetingskerk was sold to a funeral company, that used it until 2019. In 2020-2021, apartments were built inside the church.
- The organ was overhauled by the Nijsse company in 2006 and expanded with a Nasard 3' (treble) and a Tremulant. Also new register drawers have been placed with the name shields on the knobs.
