In November 2024, a new organ from the \u0160krabl Workshop was unveiled on the choir of the parish church of St. Lenart in Sostro. This church was built following the earthquake of 1895. The decision to purchase the new organ was made by the parish pastoral council in February 2019, as the old organ had reached the age of 120 years. It was originally created in 1899 and was the 71st work produced by the Zupan Brothers<\/a> organ workshop located in Kamna Gorica, operated by Ignacij (1853-1915) and Ivan Zupan (1857-1900) from Kropa.<\/p>\n

Before the old organ was dismantled and removed by the Kova\u010d Workshop, it was documented in detail by Luka Posavec<\/a> and Ale\u0161 Razpotnik<\/a> as part of the Organistica project. Today, the old organ is stored in the Kova\u010d Workshop’s warehouse and requires restoration. Due to its historical significance, the instrument has undergone a thorough professional examination and systematic inventory. The findings from this evaluation will aid in planning future restoration efforts and finding appropriate solutions to return the organ to its original condition.<\/p>\n
