  • The Church of the Nativity of Saint John in Duizel was built in 1926 to a design by architect H. Vorstermans. The organ was donated to the church by pastor J. van Houtert and his sister Jo. Dr. W. Kerssemakers was consultant during the construction. The instrument was dedicated on September 26, 1965. The parish organist, Mr. H. Wintermans, played the organ to accompany the choir. Richard Kroes, organist of the Tivolikerk in Eindhoven, played a short recital hereafter.
  • In 2019 it was announced that the church will be closed in a number of years. The last celebration has been on January 9, 2022. The building has been sold to a private person, who has made plans to use it as a village hall. The interior is intended to remain virtually unchanged.
