unusual facts about organ case



St Martin's Church, Colmar

In the spacious interior, whose furniture had suffered bitter losses during the French Revolution, the most remarkable features are the exuberant Baroque organ case of 1755, (the mechanism and the pipes themselves, originally built by Johann Andreas Silbermann, were completely replaced in 1979), as well as the ambulatory, a unique feature in Alsatian churches.

St Matthew's Church, Brixton

Inside the church there is a wide gallery around three sides and in the west end is a Doric organ case.
