  • In 1830-1831 Pehr Zacharias Strand built a new organ for Kungholms Kyrka, officially Ulrika Eleonora Kyrka, in Stockholm. The church building was built in the years 1673-1688 and was designed by Mathias Spieler. The new organ had 32 stops and was the first large organ to be installed in the church. The front was designed by C.G. Blom-Carlsson. The previous organ, built in 1753 by Gren & Stråhle, was sold to Hammars Kyrka in Närke. The organ case is still there.
  • In 1898 a new organ was placed in the case of Strand by the company Åkerman & Lund with 34 stops, pneumatic action and Roosevelt chests. From Strand also a small part of the pipework was reused. A very radical conversion was carried out in 1956 by Nils Hammarberg. The action was electrified and the disposition was expanded to 47 stops.
