Lichen organ

The organs in the Licheń temple are the largest organs in Poland. They were made in the Organ Works "Zych" in Wołomin. They consist of five parts: the main organs, the organs of the western and eastern aisles, and two smaller parts above the presbytery. The main part of the organ itself weighs about 50 tons and is 13.25 meters high. A tin pipe is installed here, which is the largest organ pipe of this type in Poland. Its diameter is 31 cm, length 783 cm, and weight about 150 kg. There are 6,577 pipes in the main organ. Combining all the organ parts together, we get 12,323 pipes and 157 votes.
