- In 1982 the firm Christensen & Sønner completed a new organ for Østre Porsgrunn Kirke. The organ had three manuals and a pedal with 31 stops. The organ case was originally built in 1782 by Daniel Wroblewsky. In 1908 its interior was replaced by a new organ by Olsen and Jörgensen. This was replaced in 1982 by the new organ.
- Early in the morning on Monday 11 April 2011, the church was destroyed by fire. As a result, the organ has also been completely lost. The church building dated from 1760 and was made entirely of wood.
