Experience the Queen of Instruments up close

On Saturday, October 10, 2026, the Stiftsbasilika St. Martin in Landshut opens a window into an extraordinary piece of church and music history: During the organ tour, visitors will discover the Simon organ with its 5,471 pipes and 77 stops up close.

A peek behind the sound curtain

The tour leads into the interior of the organ case and shows how countless pipes, stops, and technical components create an impressive auditory experience. Particularly impressive is the inspection of the large bellows, which as an essential part of the historical organ technique provides the wind for musical sound development.
