Concert series in Bad Lausick | Silbermann-Trampeli organ

The fortified church, which dates back to the 13th century, is home to one of Saxony's oldest organs. Built in 1671 by Gottfried Richter from Döbeln, it was reconstructed in 2006 by the Wegschneider organ workshop from Dresden. This instrument can be used to authentically reproduce organ works from the Renaissance and early Baroque periods.
