The organ contains older material: Organ case from 1636 by Johann Lorentz
In 1960 the company Frobenius built a new interior for the historic organ cases in the Sct. Mariæ Kirke in Helsingør. The old cases are from 1636 and were made by Johann Lorentz. Lorentz's interior was lost in 1854, when a new organ was placed in the main case by Marcussen & Reuter. The positive case remained empty after these works. In the new construction by Frobenius in 1960, an interior better in connection to the front was designed with 29 stops. The positive has also been put back into use, where the still existing historic prospect pipes from 1636 have been reused. But this organ was ultimately not considered successful. Under the advice of Cor Edskes and Kristian Olesen, Marcussen built a new organ, which was inaugurated on Februar 1st, 1998.
