- The Gereformeerde Kerk (Reformed Church), Nassaustraat 15 in South Beijerland was built in 1960 after a design by the architects Rothuizen and 't Hooft. An organ was installed in the church in 1962 by the Swiss company Orgelbau Genf. The construction was financed with a donation from the Rampenfonds. The organ was inaugurated on September 19 or 20, 1962.
- The building was taken into use in January 2002 by the newly formed Reformed municipality of Zuid-Beijerland, but was closed permanently in 2003. The last service took place on Sunday, March 23, after which the building was closed after a final meeting on March 29. The organ was put up for sale in December 2002. The building was used as a care center for some time, but then became empty and was demolished in April 2014.
- The organ was sold to the parish in Brussels-Koekelberg, where it has been placed as a choir organ in the National Basilica of the Sacred Heart. The organ was consecrated on September 14, 2003, after which Kristiaan Seynhave played the inauguration concert.
