- Voicing of the organ in the Romantic style, according to Ernst R�

History:
St. Blasius' Church was abandoned during the purge, and neglected for decades. In the 1980s, the organ became the victim of a group of young vandals.
Since 1995, St. Blasius' Church has been cleaned and restored, thanks to the support of many sponsors and individuals. During the course of such work, the organ was restored to full working condition.
