  • Advised by Piet Post and Jan Veninga, the Hervormde Kweekschool 'Nieuw Marienburg', Achter de Hoven 118 in Leeuwarden had an organ built for the auditorium by the firm Bakker & Timmenga. It was commissioned on March 18, 1969.
  • The organ was moved to the Silence Center of Stenden Hogeschool in 2006 or 2007. The former school 'Nieuw Marienburg' has in the course of time become part of the CHN Christelijke Hogeschool Noord-Nederland, and later the CHN merged into Stenden Hogeschool. This university of applied sciences forms the NHL-Stenden university of applied sciences as of 1 January 2018 after a merger with NHL university of applied sciences. The organ is not often used at Stenden University.
  • The building in which the Silence Center is located has been demolished in 2018 to realize a new entrance. The organ has been sold to a private person in Leeuwarden.
