The pipe organ was built by Friedrich Goll for the monastery church as opus 12, featuring a new organ with 50 registers on three manuals and a pedal. The organ was equipped with cone chests and Barker levers, with an expressive swell box. Over time, the instrument underwent several modifications. Between 1924 and 1926, the Goll & Co. organ-building company expanded the instrument to 134 registers, added a new console, and established a tube pneumatic system. While the initial contract mentioned 121 registers, an 8′ Principal was added later.

From 1992 to 1993, the Graf AG organ-building company restored the organ. The instrument got a new control desk with setzer facility and two new pedal registers. Today, the organ boasts 137 registers with a total of 9,097 organ pipes. The largest pipe measures over 9 meters, while the smallest is just 5 mm long.

The organ features numerous swell boxes that are staggered and allow for orchestrated, seamless dynamics. Apart from the main work and the Grand Pedal, all the works can be swelled, with part of the upper work even being able to be doubly swelled, and two registers being triple-swelled. Six swell pedals control the pneumatic couplers. In the second work (II), the Dulcian, Physharmonica, and Clarinette registers are built as beating reeds. Both the mechanical action (for keys) and the stop action (for registers) are electric.
