Pipe organs in Basilica of St. Mary in Leżajsk

The organ system consists of three separate instruments positioned in the basilica, with a central organ in the nave and two smaller ones on the sides.

The original organ was constructed around 1680 by Stanisław Studziński, with subsequent improvements by Jan Głowiński who finished the work in 1693.

The organs feature mechanical traction and contain special stops that produce sounds of birds, drums, and a specific effect called the horribile stop.

The central organ stands 15 meters high and spans 7.5 meters wide, with the largest pipe measuring over 10 meters in length.

The configuration of three separate organs enables multiple organists to perform simultaneously, creating complex musical arrangements within the basilica space.
