Built by: Rémy Mahler (1999)


In 1998/1999 Rémy Mahler built a new organ for the Église Saint Etienne in Baïgorry. The organ was built after the example of the organ by Philipp Heinrich Hasenmeyer in the Kreuzkirche in Bretten from 1747. However, the example has not been literally followed. The organ case was designed and manufactured by Hippolyte Pulcini. The organ was dedicated on December 12, 1999, with a concert by Willam Jansen.
