Kœnig pipe organ builders, known as manufacture d'orgues Kœnig, is a French firm that designs, builds and restores pipe organs. This organ building, family-owned manufacture is based in Sarre-Union, Alsace, and founded in 1945.[1]
Kœnig is specifically renowned for being the first contemporary organ builder to have performed in 1967 the recreation of a pipe organ, complying with the precepts found in the 1778 book L'Art du facteur d'orgues by Dom Bédos. This masterpiece can be seen in Saint-Georges' Church of Bouquenom in Sarre-Union.[2]
The workshop regularly contributes to the restoration of historical listed organs.
