The organ in the Protestant Church of Wasselonne was built by Jean-André Silbermann in 1745. Originally installed in the Dominican church of Guebwiller, it was moved to Wasselonne during the French Revolution. This organ is one of the best-preserved instruments created by Silbermann, and both the instrumental part and the organ case are classified as historical monuments. Over the years, the organ underwent various modifications and restorations, most notably by Joseph Stiehr in 1823, who replaced the original bellows and made other changes. Subsequent work was carried out by Wetzel and Muhleisen, who made further alterations and added new stops.

In 1992, a significant restoration was undertaken by Gaston Kern of the Manufacture d'Orgues Alsacienne. This project aimed to restore the organ to its original condition as much as possible while accommodating some of the historical modifications. The restoration included the reconstruction of missing stops and the original bellows system, while also keeping the Stiehr reservoir as an alternative. The organ was rededicated in a ceremony in 1992, highlighting its historical and musical significance. The church also houses a choir organ, adding to its rich musical heritage.
