The main organ of St. Niklaus Cathedral in Freiburg (Fribourg), Switzerland, was built by Aloys Mooser between 1824 and 1834. This impressive instrument is renowned for its size and historical significance, featuring 60 stops distributed across four manuals and pedal. The organ uses mechanical action for both the keys and stops and is built with slider windchests.
The organ's rich and varied disposition includes a wide array of principal, flute, reed, and string stops, giving it great versatility for the romantic and symphonic repertoire. The grandeur of the instrument attracted famous musicians such as Franz Liszt and Anton Bruckner to play or visit the organ. Today, the Mooser organ remains one of Switzerland's most important historical organs and a key cultural landmark in Freiburg.
