Sommerkonzerte "Nachtorgel bei Kerzenschein"

When St. Bartholomew's Church in Dornum is lit only by candlelight, it becomes magical: the impressive sounds of the baroque Holy organ from 1711 can be heard on five summer evenings during the "Night Organ by Candlelight" concert series.

Every Friday at 9 pm, internationally renowned organists invite you on a musical journey through the centuries - from Sweelinck to Buxtehude and Bach. Each concert begins with a short introduction and ends with a cozy drink if desired.

The Kids' Holy Hour

On 22. & 23 August at 11 am, the organ becomes the stage for a special children's concert:
"Noah's Ark", an exciting piece for organ and narrator with music by Johann Sebastian Bach - played by Philipp Christ and narrated by Bernhard Klapprott.


With its 32 stops and 1770 pipes, the Holy organ in Dornum is one of the largest baroque village organs in northern Germany - and a true monument of sound with Europe-wide significance. A musical experience that you shouldn't miss out on!
