  • Saint Salvator Lutheran Church in Venedy, Illinois was constructed in 1864-1865 and dedicated in 1866. The pipe organ of the church was built in the same years by J.G. Pfeffer. It has fourteen stops on one manual and pedal. There are sources (like the OHS Pipe Organ Database) that state that the organ must be older, and was relocated to Venedy from Trinity Lutheran Church on 4th Street in Saint Louis, Missouri.
  • The organ has been rebuilt by the company Kilgen & Son in 1904, and restored by Martin Ott in 1975.
