four-organ in the castle chapel 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 that took place in the 19th century, a new organ was built on the projecting gallery on the east side, which was replaced in 1929 by a new one for the teachers' college, which used the church as an auditorium. From 1932 onwards, the castle church was again used as a church space for the Torgau congregation and a new organ was built above the altar by the Sauer family from Frankfurt.

In 1994 - on the 450th anniversary of the commissioning of the castle church by Martin Luther (October 5, 1544) - the new organ by Peter Vier from Friesenheim in the Black Forest was inaugurated. With the mean tone of the tuning, the dimensions of the pipes from surviving Renaissance organs and the disposition (register arrangement), it corresponds to the sound ideal of the Renaissance.
