- In 1932 the firm Kuhn built a new organ for the abbey church of Haurerive near Posieux. At the time, the building was in use as a seminary. During construction, the organ case of the previous organ built in 1826 by Aloys Mooser, was reused, and also a part of the existing pipework. The organ received 45 stops, divided over three manuals and pedal.
- The organ was restored by Kuhn in 1955 and transferred to the Église Saint-Michel in Friborg. However, it has been rebuilt and placed here in the church's case of the organ of Johann Michael Bihler, built in the years 1762-1764. The positive organ remained empty, but the space was used to place the console. Bihler's front pipes, a small number of which are speaking, are also those of the Oktavbass. At the transfer, the stop list has been extended with two pedal ranks.
- In 1997-1998 the company Kuhn carried out a restoration. The technical part of the organ has been restored and partly renewed. The disposition remained unchanged. The organ was put back into use on July 4, 1998.
