- The organ in Viskafors Kyrka was built in 1964 by Poul-Gerhard Andersen. A description of Lovö Kyrka's new organ from 1959 mentions that the old organ was transferred to Viskafors Kyrka. This organ was built in 1885 by Åkerman & Lund, and was extended in 1935 by the same firm. It had two manuals and pedal and thirteen stops. Pipework from this organ may have been used in the construction of the new instrument in 1964.
- Viskafors Kyrka was decommissioned in 2007. The building was sold to a private individual who wanted to turn it into a conference center. But this closed in 2011. In 2018, the church was sold to a new owner, who turned it into a home. Parts of the organ were used for the construction of a new organ for Kinnarumma Kyrka in 2011.
