- In the church of Skien stands a large organ. It was originally built in 1894 as a two-manual organ with 31 stops by the Olsen & Jørgensen company. In 1936 Jens Henrik Jørgensen expanded it with a third manual with eight stops, and the existing disposition was also modified. The company Jørgensen converted the instrument in the years 1954-1959 and expanded it to 70 ranks.
- In 2018-2019 the organ was restored by Karl Schuke, who rebuilt large parts of the action and explanded the instrument with five new stops on the fourth manual. The existing stops of the fourth manual were moved to the second manual.
