The organ contains older material: Organ case from 1806 by Franz Josef Remigius Bossart
In 1806 Franz Bossart built a beautiful organ for the Sankt Jakobskirche in Cham near Zug. The organ had 27 stops. However, it was replaced in 1889 by a new pneumatic instrument from the Goll company. Only the organ cases were preserved. The positive organ remained out of use. In 1969, the Kuhn company built the current organ, with three manuals and pedal. The Rückpositiv has been put back into use. This case still contains the original front pipes from 1806. The organ was put into use on April 27, 1969. Heinrich Meier carried out a revision in 1994.
