- On the Pöllauberg stands a church dedicated to Mariä Geburt. After a major fire, the church was rebuilt in the 17th century. The organ was installed in 1684. However, the maker is unknown. The organ was expanded in the eighteenth century with a Brustpositiv. The maker is also unknown, but this work is attributed to Ferdinand Schwarz from Graz.
- In 1817 Anton Simonaire worked on the instrument. He replaced the Schwegler and the Zimbel with a Quintatön and a Flauto Dolce. During a restoration in 1929 a new pedal Mixtur was placed. The organ got an electric wind machine in 1949.
- Anton Hocker carried out maintenance works in 1979. In 2020, the organ was restored by Kögler Orgelbau. On October 11, 2020, the instrument was re-dedicated.
