The Evangelical Lutheran Warnfried Church in Osteel is home to one of East Frisia's most significant historical organs, built by Edo Evers in 1619. This instrument, the second oldest in the region, has undergone several relocations within the church due to architectural changes. Originally placed at the church's "cross," it was moved in 1830 to a new east-side gallery and finally to its current location on the west gallery in 1890. The organ's Renaissance design, altered over the centuries, was meticulously restored in 1995 by Jürgen Ahrend, reviving its historical appearance and sound.

The organ's history is marked by multiple modifications and restorations. It was first altered in the 18th century by Johann Friedrich Constabel and Johann Adam Berner, who expanded its tonal range. Significant changes to its appearance occurred during the 19th century, including the replacement of the original bellows and the loss of some of its historical elements. Despite these changes, the organ's essential character was preserved, and its restoration in the 1990s returned it to its former glory, making it one of East Frisia's most important and well-preserved historical organs.
