Main organ Laurenskerk Rotterdam, Pipe organ in Laurenskerk, Rotterdam, Netherlands.

The Marcussen & Søn organ consists of 85 stops and 7600 pipes distributed across six divisions within the Gothic church structure of Laurenskerk.

The current organ, installed in 1973, replaced previous instruments dating back to 1644, which were destroyed during the German bombardment of 1940.

The organ supports musical compositions from Renaissance through contemporary periods, making it central to Rotterdam's religious and classical music performances.

Regular maintenance and tuning ensure the mechanical operation of all 7600 pipes, allowing organists to perform complex musical arrangements throughout the year.

The instrument incorporates multi-rank Principal stops and neo-baroque elements in its Bovenwerk division, creating distinct tonal qualities for diverse musical expressions.
