Church of St. James

Two-manual mechanical instrument built by Josef IgnácWelzel in 1850 for 935 gold coins.

The instrument was originally divided into two organ cases and the positive was probably standing in the railing of the bark. After the rebuilding of the church in 1905 was positively moved to the postamentof the main cabinet.

This reconstruction of the organ was completed in 1907 by Josef Kobrle from Lomnice nad Popelkou. Within this action, Kobrle (as was his custom) and a disposition where instead of aliquot rows he added Principal 8′ and Salicional 8′. Kobrle also made the float bellows, placed in the corner of the bark. After 1918, there was another impoverishment of the instrument, when, as part of the requisition, the original tinprospectus pipes were replaced with zinc ones.

In 2012, restoration work began with the aim of returning the instrumentto its original 1850 register layout and destroy the wood-boring insects. The restoration was completed by organ builder Peter Kozina from Prague in 2015. The instrument is reliable and acoustically in an interesting space sounds very good.
