Large organ from 1713, drawing from before 1815

Severin was successful as a merchant and as early as 1713 he donated a new large organ to the castle church as its church master . He not only took care of the new building, but also for its continuous maintenance and the payment of the organist. The organ builder was the Schnitger student Hans Hantelmann . The organ was Hantelmann's first new building and had 27 registers , divided into two manuals and a pedal. In 1815 the instrument was sold and entered the church of the Rehna monastery , but is no longer preserved.
