Schwenkedel Organ

The current church houses an organ whose history dates back to 1815, when the first instrument, a Michel Stiehr, was installed in the old Romanesque church.

After more than fifty years of service, it was dismantled in 1879 during reconstruction work.

Its pipes were requisitioned in 1917, then in 1931, Georges Schwenkedel replaced it with a new organ, his opus 35, a large Alsatian post-symphonic instrument with 34 real stops spread over three keyboards and a pedal.

The inauguration took place in the presence of Canon Joseph Gass.

Several restorations were carried out in the 1970s and in 2001 to preserve this instrument. The case, in neo-Gothic style, houses remarkable features: a Sesquialtera, a Cymbal, Mutations, as well as romantic and symphonic elements such as a foundation chorus, an Oboe, a Harmonic Flute, a Trumpet and a Clarion in the recital division in the manner of Cavaillé-Coll, and a Celestial Voice, all resting on strong fundamentals.
