  • In 1878 Åkerman & Lund built an organ for Borgholms Kyrka. It was placed on the gallery above the entrance of the church. The organ had eight registers. In 1932 it was renewed and extended to eighteen registers by Olof Hammarberg. The original organ case was widened on both sides. While preserving the old cases, a new organ was built in 1961 by Werner Bosch from Kassel.
  • The organ was demolished in 1994. With material from this organ and the choir organ, a new organ has been built on the church floor. The historic organ case has been removed.
