  • In 1767 Lars Wahlberg and Anders Wollander built a new organ for the church in Loftahammar, with one manual with ten stops and an attached pedal. The organ was restored in 1874 by Anders Petter Kullbom, but the stoplist has also been altered. In 1948 the organ was decommissioned. The company Mårtensson built a new pneumatic organ behind the historical instrument.
  • Under the advice of Carl-Gustaf Lewenhaupt, the old organ was restored by Åkerman & Lund in the years 1998-2000. The original condition is hereby reconstructed. On July 2, 2000, the organ was put back into use.
