House organ
Description
The organ dispositive was probably built in 1702 and is attributed to the organ builder Johann Jakob Messmer (1648-1707). in 1756, the organ was rebuilt by Christian Jakob Kühlwein (1728-after 1791). in 1764, the coat of arms panels and the crowning carving were added. The coats of arms refer to the former owners: Regula Seebach and Wilpert Grimm. The two wings as well as the four reverse glass paintings inside (upper left: Landscape, lower left: King David with harp, top right: Landscape, bottom right: Saint Cecilia at the organ) probably date from the middle of the 18th century.
