  • In 1964, the Opstandingskerk (Church of the Resurrection), Rembrandtlaan 92, was inaugurated in Voorburg. A small organ by mr. Kloppenburg was installed in 1965. In May 1978 there was finally enough money to build a larger organ. Willem Hülsmann was consultant. The Vierdag company was commissioned to built the instrument, but went bankrupt at the end of 1981. The organ was almost completed: only three stops were missing. One of the employees of Vierdag, Johannes Groenenberg, completed the organ, so that it could be dedicated on December 10, 1982. Organists were Willem Hülsmann and the organist of the church, Gerrit van Eeden.
  • The Opstandingskerk was closed for church services after a last service at May 24, 2015. The organ was offered for sale in 2018 by the company Van den Heuvel. It was sold by them and transferred to the Catholic Pfarrkirche Mater Dolorosa in Regensburg. It replaced a unit organ in this church. The Vierdag organ was dedictaed on November 25, 2018.
