Organ in the Martinikerk at Groningen

The Martinikerk organ incorporates three manual divisions and features original pipes dating from the late Gothic period through the Renaissance era.

Construction of the instrument began in 1450 by Master Hermannus, with significant expansions occurring in 1479 under the guidance of Rudolphus Agricola.

The organ represents northern European craftsmanship through contributions from multiple builders, including Arp Schnitger and his son Franz Caspar Schnitger.

Regular concerts occur throughout the year, allowing visitors to experience the organ's musical capabilities through performances by international musicians.

This instrument maintains the only surviving set of original 32-foot prestant pipes manufactured by Arp Schnitger during 1690 and 1691.
