- The organ in the parish church of Bergholtz is most likely a work of Jacques Besançon. It was built around 1766. The current church building dates from 1759. The organ was rebuilt and modified in 1865 by Nicolas Verschneider. He turned it into a two-manual organ with a freestanding console, which was completed in January 1866. In 1917 the front pipes were requisitioned. These were replaced by zinc ones in later years.
- In 1975 the organ was restored by Christian Guerrier. Guerrier carried out another restoration in 1990. After this, the organ was put into use again on December 9, 1990 with a performance by Maurice Moerlen.
