Description nr.: 2013605.

Built by: Johann Nepomuk Holzhey (1778)
Binnenwerk verwijderd (1905/1926)


The choir organ of the abbey church in Ursberg was built in 1778 by Holzhey. There were plans to sell the organ in 1805, but this never happened. However, the console was removed in 1905, and eventually most of the interior was removed in 1926. The original specification is not known, but it could be reconstructed using other works by Holzhey. Whether an interior will ever be built in the old organ case is the question.
