Rysum organ, Historical pipe organ in Rysum Church, Krummhörn, Germany.

The Rysum organ features original pipework constructed from hammered lead, with winged doors decorated with celestial symbols on its Renaissance-style facade.

Built in 1457 by master Harmannus from Groningen, the organ underwent substantial reconstruction in 1513 and received restoration to its 1513 condition in 1959.

The organ represents the Gothic tradition of organ building in the Hanseatic region, with ten similar instruments documented between Emden and Norden.

The instrument contains Manual CDEFGA-g, Praestant, Gedackt, Octave, Sesquialtera, Mixtur, and Trompette stops, enabling performances of 15th and 16th-century repertoire.

Local farmers transported this organ across the frozen Dollart bay from Groningen, paying the builder with their ten best cows.
