Built by: Valentin Rinckenbach (1845)
The organ in the Église Saint-Vincent in Kirchberg was built in 1845 by Valentin Rinckenbach. The disposition was modified in 1899: the Nasard 2 2/3' of the Grand Orgue was replaced by a Gambe 8', and the Flageolet 2' of the Positif by a Voix Céleste. In 1952 Georges Schwenkedel made some repairs. During revision works in 1986, the organ was modified by Alfred Kern. They replaced the Voix Céleste of the Positif with a Flageolet, and increased the compass of the pedal from 18 to 27 keys. The console has also been renewed by Alfred Kern. In 2018, Richard Dott undertook a major restoration.
