  • In 1962, Van den Berg & Wendt built a new organ for the Gereformeerde Kerk, Oudeweg in Mariënberg. Gerrit Stulp from Leeuwarden was the consultant for the construction. The organ was put into use on December 15, 1962.
  • In 1994 the organ was transferred by Hendriksen & Reitsma to the church hall at Mennorode, Apeldoornseweg 185 in Elspeet, in use by the Mennonite congregation. The organ was partly re-voiced on the new location. Furthermore, nothing has been modified to the instrument.
  • The organ was dismantled and put in storage by Sicco Steendam on February 1st, 2012. In 2020, the organ was restored and transferred to Poland, to the parish church of Jana Pawła II in Zgierz. The composition of the Mixture was modified (on 1 1/3'-basis in stead of 1'). In the original situation the Prestant 8' was combined with the Holpijp from C-B, This has been modified: the new transmission is from C-f°.
