- The organ in Karlstad Domkyrka was originally built by the firm Åkerman & Lund in 1879. This organ had 29 stops on two manuals and pedal. The instrument was extensively renovated by Marcussen in the years 1939/1940. Hereafter the organ had 58 stops on three manuals and pedal. It was decided in 1970 to have a completely new five-manual organ built in the old case by Magnusson. A new positive organ was installed in the gallery. The new organ was inaugurated on February 6, 1972.
- In 2011, the organ was renovated by the Grönlund company. The electrical action has been renewed, the console has been moved and the swell box has been changed. Hans Nordenborg was involved as consultant.
