- The organ in the parish church of Montfaucon in Jura, Switzerland, was built in 1867-1868 by the brothers Charles and Emil Wetzel. It was an instrument with one manual and a small pedal board with 18 keys. In 1896 this organ was enlarged by the Gebrüder Klingler with a second manual to nineteen stops. But one stop was only prepared.
- In 1913, a rebuilt was carried out by the company Goll to make the organ more contemporary with a romantic character. An electric wind blower was installed in 1925. Goll expanded the organ in 1938. It had 23 stops at the time.
- Because of the bad condition of the organ, the interior of the organ was removed in 1971, and an electronic organ was installed. The original prospect of Wetzel was kept on his place, and could be restored in 1995. The company Roman Steiner built a new pipe organ in 2000, using the case and prospect of Wetzel. The new organ is designed in the style of instrument of Wetzel. The new organ was dedicated in June 2000.
