The organ was constructed by Theodor Frobenius & Sons Organ Builders A/S between 1927-2001. The first organ was established by Lambert Daniel Kastens, a student of Arp Schnittger, in 1730 with 43 registers. In 1878, the instrument was renovated by J.A. Demant based on Albert Schweitzer's sound principles.

In 1927/29, organ builder Theodor Frobenius made radical changes to the organ, expanding it to 84 registers while recycling the old case and old registers. In the 1950s, the organ was restored according to contemporary standards by the original manufacturer, with some romantic registers removed, and pipes cut.

From 1981 to 2001, the organ was returned to its original 1929 condition. This also involved replacing the pneumatic action with an electric one and installing a combination action system. Today, it is the largest organ in Denmark.
