• In the years 1811-1812 Olof Schwan built an organ with one manual and pedal and thirteen stops for Botkyrka kyrka. It was completed after the death of Schwan on April 15, 1812, by Johan Everhardt Jr. in 1814. In 1914 Åkerman & Lund delivered a new interior with twelve stops, divided over two manuals and pedal. The same company enlarged the organ in 1943 by sixteen stops and installed a new pneumatic console. In 1955 the company E. Kemper & Sohn delivered a new organ, 35 stops on three manuals and pedal and mechanical slider chests.
  
• The current organ was built in 1977 by Åkerman & Lund, again behind the prospect from 1812. In 1992 the organ was expanded with five stops by Nye Orgelbyggeri.
