The organ in the parish church of Roeschwoog was built in 1808 by Michael Stiehr. The substructure of the main case was taken from the previous organ.This instrument was built in 1790 by Joseph Zipffel for an extension of the old organ. However, the work was replaced in 1808 by a new organ of Stiehr. A first change was made in 1893, when Louis Mockers replaced the Nazard 2 2/3' with a Gambe 8'. The prospect pipes were removed for the metal in 1917. They were replaced by new ones in 1921 by Franz Kriess. Further the organ has never been modified. Gaston Kern carried out a restoration in 1988, in which the organ was restored to its original state.
