  • The Roman Catholic church of Saint Francisus of Assisi was built in Leeuwarden in the years 1958-1963. The architect was H.J. van Wissen. Dr. P.J. de Bruyn was a consultant on behalf of the KKOR for the construction of this organ. It was dedicated on January 12, 1964. The organ has a split between bass and discant between fis' and g'. The Mixtuur and the Sexquialter were placed later.
  • The church was closed after a last service on May 9, 2004. Since this time it is in use by the congregation called 'Uitzichtgemeente', and the church is renamed to 'Uitzicht'. The organ is still in the church, but is never used anymore.
