Four-organ in the castle chapel in Torgau

The first organ in the castle church came from the Lichtenburg monastery (Prettin) and was installed above the altar, as it is today. For the military services held in the 19th century, a new organ was built on the protruding gallery on the east side, which was replaced in 1929 by a new one for the teacher training college, which used the church as an assembly hall. From 1932, the castle church was once again used as a church hall for the Torgau congregation and a new organ was built above the altar by the Sauer family from Frankfurt.

In 1994 - to mark the 450th anniversary of Martin Luther taking the castle church into service (October 5, 1544) - the new organ by Peter Vier from Friesenheim in the Black Forest was inaugurated. With its mid-range tuning, the scales (dimensions) of the pipes from surviving Renaissance organs and the disposition (combination of stops), it corresponds to the sound ideal of the Renaissance.
