Summary/Abstract: The text presents the history of organ in Skrzatusz, starting from the cost estimate in 1866 at Wilhelm Sauer in Frankfurt (Oder). The instrument with 19 voices was created in 1874, and its construction was carried out by the said Sauer factory. The time of building the work is confirmed by both hand-written files and until now unknown company's catalog from 1882, printed on the occasion of its 25-year jubilee. In 2004, the building underwent a major renovation and this time is the final date of development. The article contains copies and abstracts of German-language messages about the preservation of the old music choir together with a dummy built-in – a positive, a remnant of a former instrument. This study is the first in a series of organ history in Skrzatusz.
