- The organ of the Hervormde Kerk (Dutch Reformed Church) in Niekerk was inaugurated on October 28, 1894 with a concert by H.P. Steenhuis. The organ was built by the firm Van Oeckelen. It has been preserved almost unchanged over the years. In 1955, A.J. Opten carried out maintenance work. Het replaced the Violon 16' (discant) by a Quint 2 2/3' (discant). Lucky enough he kept the removed pipes in the organ case. The instrument also got a wind motor in 1955.
- The church was restored in 1967. This was followed by restoration of the organ by Mense Ruiter. He re-installed the Violon. The organ was put back into use on November 23, 1969. A.J. Opten again replaced the Violon with a Quint in 1977, but the Violon was relocated for the second time during a last restoration by Mense Ruiter in 1993. Mense Ruiter also made an extra slide on which a Cornet was placed.
