- The organ in the Bellwald church was built around 1830 by Josef Anton Carlen. It was an organ with one manual and pedal. In the years 1925-1930 the instrument was completely converted by the company Gebr. Mayer. The action was made pneumatic and the organ was expanded with various registers, which were placed behind the case. In 1958 A. Frey carried out a restoration.
- Carlen's original work was reconstructed by Hans Füglister in 1978.
