Entrance Doors & Organ Pipes

Inside Saint John's Church in Helsinki, Finland. St John’s Church’s main organ was built in 1891 by the world-renowned German company E.F. Walcker & Cie of Ludwigsburg. It represented the latest technology in organ building through its tubular-pneumatic action. Originally, the organ had 61 registers making it the largest at the time in Finland. It was later broadened by Oskar Merikanto in 1921. The organ was then excellently restored in 2004-05 by Christian Scheffler after unsuccessful attempts in 1937 and 1956. The organ currently has 66 registers and a total of 4036 pipes.
