Organo del monastero di Engelberg

The monastery organ features mechanical-action keys and slider chests, producing sound through an array of lead-tin alloy pipes within a wooden encasement.

This 1877 organ resides in the Benedictine monastery of Engelberg, which was established in 1120 and governed both religious and secular aspects until 1798.

The organ supports daily religious services and traditional Benedictine musical practices, contributing to the monastery's continuous liturgical traditions.

Visitors can experience the organ during guided monastery tours, which include detailed information about the instrument and its role in religious ceremonies.

The instrument incorporates specific design elements that accommodate the acoustic properties of the monastery church, maximizing sound projection throughout the space.
