Summary/Abstract: The construction of the church began in the summer of 1889 and was completed in late autumn of 1890. The decision to build the organ was made in January 1890, and its construction was entrusted to organ builder Johann Spiegel from Rychtal. In 1917, the German army confiscated the pipes from the organ’s prospect, which were replaced during the interwar period. After World War II, the instrument was repaired and an electric blower was installed by Stefan Fiołka from Kępno. In 2019, the organ was used in liturgy but required thorough renovation. After receiving a grant in 2023, the renovation of the instrument was carried out from April to December 2024 by organ builder Tomasz Sowiński from Pudliszki, and the restoration of the organ case and prospect was done by the conservation workshop of Ewa Szydłowska from Plewiska. On December 21, 2024, during a solemn liturgy, the organ was consecrated and sounded again.
