  • At the end of 1899 a new organ was dedicated in the church of Altmünsterol, today Montreux-Vieux in the Alsace. Adviser was mr. Wiltberger from Colmar. The instrument was built by the firm of Voit & Söhne as opus number 882. It's a two manual instrument with sixteen stops.
  • The organ has been preserved in the original condition. Even the original prospect pipes were not removed in 1917. In 1946 an electric blower was installed. Plans to modify the stop list were never carried out. In 1993 Michel Gaillard restored the organ.
