  • In the Église Saint-Nicolas in Orschwihr is an organ from the firm Stiehr-Mockers from 1881. The previous organ of the church, built by François Callinet in 1817, was transferred by Stiehr to Friesenheim, where it was lost in 1944 due to war violence. The new organ was dedicated on December 6, 1881.
  • The original prospect pipes were removed in 1917, and were replaced by zinc pipes in 1926. Antoine Bois carried out a restoration in 2004. He renewed the front pipes. On June 5, 2004, the organ was put back into service with a concert by Daniel Roth.
