- The Pniëlkerk in Scheveningen-Duindorp was opened on June 27, 1938. An organ by Valckx & Van Kouteren from Rotterdam was installed in the church. The facade of the organ is a design by the architect Plooy from Amersfoort, who was also the architect of the church. Some stops have been replaced or were modified over the years. The Gemshoorn 4' by Manuaal I became a Quint and the Flûte Harmonique a Roerfluit.
- In 1967 the organ was restored by H.B. Scheuerman. Hereby the Gamba 8' of Manual II was replaced by a Scherp, starting at c°. A revision followed in 1980, also by Scheuerman. A Nasard has been placed on Manual II. The last modifications were carried out by Scheuerman in 1988. An electric console was placed on the ground floor, and a Flute 4 ' on Manuaal I, both from the Van der Linden organ from 1961 of the former Immanuelkerk in Scheveningen. The lower octave was installed at both the Mixtuur and the Scherp. Restoration advisors were Dr. A.J. Gierveld and Jean Telder on behalf of the Gereformeerde Organistenvereniging (Reformed Organist Association). The restored organ was put back into use on September 18, 1988.
- The Pniëlkerk was decommissioned in 2009. The building has been in use since October 2nd 2011 as an Indian Cultural Center with the name 'Gandhi Center'. The organ remained in the room, although hardly ever played. In July 2018 a permit was requested for demolition of the complex. The demolition was finally carried out in December 2019. The organ was sold to the Netherlands Reformed Congregation Church in Fort Macleod, Canada. The organ has been restored and transferred by Ide Boogaard. At the end of 2021, the organ could be inaugurated.
