Before 1600 there were Mennonites in Heerenveen. The first mention of the community was in 1674. The church of the Flemish, orthodox community was in the Kakelsteeg in Heerenveen, this alley is now called Vermaningsteeg. The other community was more liberal and was called the Waterlandse community. This church was on the Munniksteeg, west of the Dracht. Both churches were clandestine churches. In 1741 these communities merged and built a new church building in 1762, which was put into use in 1763. The organ, supplied by the Van Dam company from Leeuwarden, was used for the first time on 5 July 1840. The 'Van Dam' organ was replaced in 1900 by the current organ, which was supplied by the Bakker en Timmenga company. (source: ANWB)
