In 1783-1786 the Swedish organ builder Nils Strömback delivered an organ to the church of the Finnish town of Rauma. In its construction, an old positive from the sixteenth century was used, which was placed as the Öververk. The organ was not allowed to be used until 1789, after official permission from the King of Sweden. The old interior is long gone. In 1966 the Kangasala company built a new organ behind the prospect. This organ has three manuals and 35 stops. Advisors were Enzio Forsblom and Asko Rautioaho. The organ was put into use on April 3, 1966. In 2001 the same company expanded the instrument with a Trompete 8'. In 2009 the organ was restored by Paschen Orgelbau Kiel. A new setzer installation was installed.
