The instrument was built by Ernst Sauer, the father of the renowned German organ builder Wilhelm Sauer, together with his workshop manager Carl Büttner. When Ernst Sauer left in July 1852, Büttner stayed in Courland and began working independently.
An inscription on the organ case indicates that Fritz Dakša tuned and repaired the instrument in September 1933, and Jakob Jauģietis from Liepāja repaired and fine-tuned it in 1947. The organ is a single-manual instrument without pedals, currently unplayable due to high humidity. Notably, the octave coupler has its own separate valves in the wind chest and an extended range up to f4. During a previous repair, Moscow master D. Lotov soldered tuning devices to all the pipes, which were not part of the original design.
