Windorgel Vlissingen, Wind instrument sculpture at Nolledijk, Netherlands
The Windorgel consists of vertical bamboo pipes with strategically placed openings that produce various sounds when wind passes through them.
Belgian artist Raphaël August Opstaele and Mass Moving installed the first wind organ at Nollestrand in 1975, representing a part of their vision for cross-continental connections.
The structure inspired composer Daan Manneke to create 'Pneoo' in 1979, while saxophonist Dies le Duc performed concerts incorporating the wind organ's natural sounds.
The wind organ stands next to a 6.1-meter steel light tower that guides maritime traffic over the Westerschelde with a range of 6 nautical miles.
Among three similar installations in Europe, this remains the only permanent wind organ as others, including one in Petten, were removed due to maintenance costs.
