Karl Johan Wickman of Vickman built a six-stop organ for Västerljungs Kyrka in 1884. The church's old organ, dating from 1708, was sold to the Statens Museum in Stockholm, where the case is still preserved. Behind Wickman's prospect, Åkerman & Lund built a new two-manual organ with fifteen stops in 1954. This was replaced in 2008 by a new organ, also built by Åkerman & Lund. This is an organ with nineteen registers, which was built in the French Romantic style.
