Parapet organ

[2] Parapet organs are often found in Baroque style monastery churchs, where the music gallery also contains the function of the "prayer choir".

Occasionally, a second, somewhat simpler facade was built on the side of the prayer choir.

This placement always favours a good sound radiation of a small instrument into the church space.

The view and sound of an ensemble playing music towards the church interior is sometimes significantly restricted.

Furthermore, the size of a parapet organ, especially with an opulent disposition, is clearly limited by the scarce space available and comprises a maximum of two manuals.
