Organs of the Nieuwe Kerk, Pipe organs in Nieuwe Kerk, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The Nieuwe Kerk contains two significant pipe organs: a monumental main organ spanning the west wall and a smaller transept organ in its northern section.
The main organ, commissioned in 1645 and finished in 1655, represents Dutch craftsmanship with decorative panels depicting biblical scenes and musical symbolism.
Daily organ performances began in 1680 when Amsterdam incorporated instrumental music into religious services, establishing a tradition that continues through regular concerts.
The organs remain operational through systematic maintenance, allowing visitors to experience musical performances during scheduled concerts and religious ceremonies.
King David with his harp adorns the main organ's facade, accompanied by figures representing different arts in a classical temple architectural design.
