Organ by Augustin Hartung from 1717. The church building itself was inaugurated in 1710. The organ was converted to pneumatic action in 1901 by the Dalstein-Haerpfer company. In 1917 the front pipes had to be removed for war metal. Schwenkedel placed new ones in 1929. The current organ was built in 1971 by Jean Georges Koenig, making use of the historic pipework and the old organ case still present.
