Built by: Hendrik Jan Vierdag (1971)


  • C.A. Vlot, organ builder in Oud-Alblas, built a new organ in 1949 for the Vredeskerk (Peace Church) in Veenendaal. This church was inaugurated in 1947. The instrument didn't reach the standards that were expected, and in 1969 it was decided to replace it. A new organ was delivered in 1971 by H.J. Vierdag. Lambert Erné was appointed as consultant for the construction. The organ was inaugurated on October 29 and 30, 1971. The stop list of the Bovenwerk has been modified over time. The Woudfluit 2' and the Sesquialter were replaced by a Nasard 3' and a Terts 1 3/5'.
  • In 2019 the instrument was in need of a major renovation. The congregration decided to replace the organ, and a second hand Van Vulpen organ (1961) from the Marcus Church in Utrecht was bought. The Vierdag organ was sold to the parish of Zbraslavice in the Czech Republic, where it was installed in 2020. Petr Žák played the inauguration concert on August 16, 2020.
