  • After the flood of 1953, it was decided in Arnemuiden to have a new organ built for the Gereformeerde Kerk by Willem van Leeuwen. The costs were covered by the Rampenfonds (disaster fund). The previous organ of the church, built by Johann Reil in 1948, has been demolished. Willem Hülsmann was the consultant for the construction of the new organ. It was inaugurated on May 16, 1962.
  • In 1967 the organ was transferred to the newly built Eben-Haëzerkerk, also by Van Leeuwen. The new church was opened on March 9, 1967.
  • In 2014 an overhaul was carried out by Nijsse. The stop list has been changed. The Octave 2' of the Rugwerk was installed on the Hoofdwerk, and the Woudfluit 2' of the Hoofdwerk on the Rugwerk. The Nasard 1 1/3' of the Rugwerk has been moved and supplemented to a Nasard 3'. The Sharp IV ranks of the Rugwerk has been replaced by a new Terts 1 3/5'. The instrument was also revoiced at this occasion.
