- In 1697, Hans Heinrich Cahman and Jonas Arman built an organ with 24 stops for Skara Cathedral. This instrument was converted and enlarged in 1788 by Johann Everhardt. In 1894, Johannus Magnusson completed a new organ with 33 stops, built in the romantic style. In the 1950s plans began to be made to replace this instrument with a new baroque-style organ. This was completed in 1964 and was built by the Danish organ builder Poul-Gerhard Andersen. It has three manuals and pedal with a total of 46 stops. The organ was dedicated on December 17, 1964, with a concert by Gotthard Arnér, who also was the consultant during construction.
- In 2004 the organ was overhauled by Jan Börjeson, and a new electronic combination system was installed.
