Built by: A. Nijsse & Zonen (1987)


  • On September 3rd, 1987 a new organ was put into use in the Christelijke Gereformeerde Kerk, Dapperweg 25 in Haamstede. The church was completed in late 1982. The builder Nijsse & Zn. built the instrument, which was voiced by René Nijsse. Construction consultant was mr. G.J. Groenleer. When it was commissioned, the organ was played by the consultant, by René Nijsse and by Mar van der Veen. Several instrumentalists also participated in the evening.
  • Due to the decline in the number of congregation members, the church was renovated and the interior modified. There was no room for the pipe organ in the new setting. It was then sold to the parish of Verrières-le-Buisson. In March 2024 it was transferred to the Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption.
