1820 Franz Josef Remigius Bossart  new organ
1968 Mathis Orgelbau  reconstruction

Franz Bossard built an organ for the St. Verenakirche in Zurzach in 1819/1820. The organ had 24 stops, divided over two manuals and an independent pedal. In 1884 the instrument was replaced by a new organ. It was then bought by the Evangelisch-Reformierte Kirche of Zurzach. Some modifications were made to the organ during the transfer. In 1968 the company Mathis carried out a restoration. Hereby the original disposition is restored. However, two stops were added to the Rückpositiv.
