- In Björksta Kyrka there was an organ by Jonas Ekengen from 1779. It was a two-manual organ with ten registers and an attached pedal. It was lost due to a fire in 1859 or 1860. Anders Gustaf Nygren built a new organ in 1860, possibly using the still usable material from the old organ. This was a much smaller organ, with six registers. It was replaced in 1930 by a larger organ, built by Magnusson, behind the facade from 1860. The church building was restored in 1954. The organ was then renovated by Bo Wedrup and moved from the organ gallery to the Vapenhuset. He shortened the Violin 8' to a Svegel 2'.
- Magnusson built a completely new organ in 1975.
