Pipe organs of Salzburg Cathedral

The cathedral houses several pipe organs, including a main instrument with four manuals and approximately 6,500 pipes arranged across multiple galleries.

Christoph Egedacher constructed the great organ between 1702 and 1703, with his son Johann Christoph expanding it in 1705 and 1718.

The organs support both liturgical services and public concerts, maintaining a centuries-old tradition of religious and classical music performances.

Visitors can attend guided tours to learn about the organs' mechanics and listen to regular recitals performed by professional musicians throughout the year.

The western organ represents one of the earliest examples combining northern and southern Alpine organ construction styles in European musical instrument history.
