Bergsjö Kyrka was built in the years 1843-1845. In 1858 Johan Gustaf Ek built an organ for this church. The organ had two manuals and pedal. Because the mechanisms were in poor condition, it was decided in 1914 to have a new organ built in the organ cases of Ek by Nils Eriksson, organ builder in Gävle. This organ had pneumatic action. In 1950 a restoration was necessary, because only a few stops could be used. The order went to the company Cecilia Orgelbyggeri, who repaired the organ in the years 1953-1955 under the advice of Alf Linder. Bo Wedrup repaired the organ in 1962.
In 1966-1967 a new organ was built in the historic cases from 1858 by the Hagström company. Construction was carried out under the advice of Per-Erik Styf and Harald Rönnquist. Mechanics, wind supply and keyboard are newly manufactured. Half of the registers were taken over from the previous organ. The organ was dedicated on December 17, 1967, the third Sunday of Advent.
