- In 1727-1728 Johan Niclas Cahman built a two-manual organ with 28 stops for the church in Lövstabruk (or Leufstabruk). The instrument was donated to the church by Charles De Geer, lord of Leufsta. The organ survived the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries with almost no modifications. Olof Schwan repaired the instrument in 1773. In 1858 the Qvintadena 16' of the main work was changed to a Bordun 16'.
- In 1914 the organ was withdrawn from use, because it showed many malfunctions and was seen as old-fashioned. A harmonium was placed next to the console. In the following years the Ryggpositiv was emptied so that the harmonium could be placed behind the prospect of this division. Fortunately, the interior was put in storage and saved.
- In 1933 Bertil Wester from Stockholm attended the church. He argued for a restoration of the Cahman organ. John Vesterlund re-installed the original pipes in the Ryggpositiv, but he added a pneumatic stop action. He also renewed about a hundred pipes of the Mixtur.
- The organ was thoroughly restored in 1963/1964 by the company Marcussen & Søn. The organ was completely reconstucted to its original state.
- Under the advice of Carl-Gustaf Lewenhaupt, the organ was once again restored in 2006 by Mats Arvidsson. The voicing and tuning of the organ has been thoroughly refined. On June 11, 2006, the organ was reopened with a concert by Mats Åberg.
