Organiser

Evangelical Lutheran parish of Lahm

The parish of Lahm has around 400 members. The idyllic half-timbered village of Lahm is dominated by the tower of the Schloßkirche "Holy trinity", which is widely known for its valuable baroque organ. The organ was built in 1732 by Heinrich Gottlieb Herbst with 29 stops on two manuals and pedal. The Herbst organ is one of the most important monumental organs in Germany. Concerts are organised on a regular basis.
