Oslo, Norge (Oslo) - Uranienborg Kirke
Municipal: Oslo
Address: Uranienborg, 0259, Oslo
Website: http://uranienborgkirke.no/
Description nr.: 2022759.
Built by: Orgelbau Kuhn AG (2009)
The organ contains older material: Organ case from 1884 by August Nilsen
In 2008/2009 the Kuhn company built a new three-manual organ for the Uranienborg Kirke in Oslo. The organ is placed in the neo-Gothic organ case that was present in the church, built in 1884 by August Nielsen. In the twentieth century, this case was expanded with a Rückpositiv in a different style, which has now been removed. The new specification is derived from the original romantic stop list. Part of the pipework is also from the construction period of this organ. The Altarwerk has its own console, but can also be played from the main organ. On November 22, 2009 Jon Laukvik played the inauguration concert.
