  • In 1721 Johann Ignaz Egedacher built a new organ for the Stiftskirche in Rohrbach. It replaced an organ by Andreas Putz from 1636. The new organ probably had two manuals and a pedal with 15 registers. Unfortunately, the specification of the organ has not been preserved.
  • In 1902, Johann Lachmayr built a new organ in the Egedacher case, because the old organ was in poor condition and repair was no longer seen as worthwhile. The new work was dedicated on May 6, 1902. The organ had pneumatic action with cone chests and 17 registers. The front pipes were also renewed by Lachmayr. These were not requisitioned in 1917.
  • In 1970, a new organ was built in the historical case by the Metzler company. This organ was dedicated on June 28, 1970. It is a two-manual mechanical organ with 24 registers and slider chests.
