About this audio guide
This guide to the Protestant church on the Beulakerweg in Giethoorn follows the tradespeople behind its music: a Blokzijl merchant with an organ too big for his house, the church wardens who wanted it, and a local sailor taken by pirates. It moves on to Amsterdam organ builder Hermannus Knipscheer and the craftsmen who restored his work. You'll also hear about the bell founders whose work hangs in the wooden frame by the west wall.
