- In 1887, Friedrich Goll built a new organ with mechanical action and cone chests for the church of Saint Nicholas in Courroux. The organ has 22 stops. In 1954 it was renewed by the company Kuhn. They modified the composition of the Mixture, and replaces three stops of the Schwellwerk: Flauto Amabile 8', Traversflöte 4' and Oboe 8' by Nazard 2 2/3', Flûte Ouverte 4' and a Cymbale. In 1980 the stop list was modified again, this time by Hans Füglister. He replaced the Lieblich Gedackt 8' of the Hauptwerk by a Cornet, the Gemshorn 8' of the Schwellwerk by a Cromorne (Krummhorn) and the Violoncello 8' of the Pedal by a Bourdon 4', created from pipes of the Lieblich Gedackt. In 1985 Füglister replaced the Mixture by a new one, and constructed an Octave 2' as halfdraw of the Mixture.
- In 2016-2017 the church underwent a major renovation. After this the organ was also overhauled in the months February until April 2017.
