  • The Sint Benedictuskerk in Rijswijk (ZH) was built in the years 1958-1959 to a design by Jan de Jong, architect in Schaijk. The church building was consecrated on 15 August 1959. An organ was installed by the Pels & Zn company. During the construction, Dr. P.J. de Bruyn was appointed as advisor on behalf of the KKOR. The organ has many combined registers. Originally, the pipework was set up in an open arrangement. Later, a case was placed around it. In 1990, the organ was renovated by the Tiggelman company.
  • The church building was closed on July 1, 2003 and was subsequently demolished. The Pels organ was sold to the parish church of Saint Jack (Kostel sv. Jakuba) in Beroun in the Czech Republic. It was dedicated in this church on October 3rd, 2004 by the archbishop of Prague. The pedal organ was expanded with a new Quint 5 1/3', and the backside of the organ case is closed with a wood panel, because this was still open in Rijswijk.
  • A couple of years after the installation in Beroun the organ was enlarged with a Bazuin 16' on the pedal, taken from the former Schiffner-organ of the Strahov Monastry and an suboctave coupler between the manual was installed.
