- In 1878 Friedrich Ladegast placed a large organ in the cathedral of Reval (Tallinn), but also a smaller organ with twelve stops in the parish church in Rappel (Rapla). The organ was transferred in 1901 to the current church building, which was built in the years 1899-1901 and was dedicated on September 30, 1901.
- In 1939 the Kriisa brothers extended the organ with a second manual. It now had 25 stops. The conversion by Kriisa was radical. It is unclear how much of Ladegast's material is still present.
