- The organ in Festa Kyrka is the oldest organ in the Diocese of Stockholm. It was built in the years 1697-1698 for the Barnhuskyrka in Stockholm by George Woytzig. In 1720 Johan Niclas Cahman restored the instrument in co-operation with Eric German. It was transferred to Fresta Kyrka in 1788 by Jonas Ekengren.
- In 1799 the specification was modified. This also happened in 1889, by E.A. Setterquist & Son. The instrument was in bad condition for a long time. John Grönvall overhauled the instrument in 1961. The Christensen company built a new organ behind the historic organ in 1982. In 1999-2001 Mats Arvidsson from Stallarholmen restored the Woytzig organ and reconstructed it to the situation of 1799.
