I am happy to inform everyone that completed my new sample set of Aquincum Organ from Holy Spirit Church in Győr (Arrabona) (Hungary) . The organ has three manuals and pedal and 42 stops.
Győr is one of Hungary's major cities, with 130,000 inhabitants, and is the seat of the West Transdanubia Győr-Sopron county.
In the place In ancient times, the Roman settlement of Arrabona was located on the site of today's Győr. This is where the town's German name Raab comes from. After the conquest, István I established the diocese of Győr in 1001, of which the city became the center in 1009; this is when the cathedral was built. During the Turkish wars, Győr Castle was an important defender of Vienna. After the expulsion of the Turks, Győr became a thriving industrial and cultural center. Even in communist times, Győr continued to develop, especially its machine production was world famous. Ányos Jedlik, the inventor of the dynamo, was born in the city. Clay sculptor Margit Kovács, pediatrician Ágost Schöpf-Merei and martyr bishop Vilmos Apor, victims of Soviet soldiers. Worthy of mention is the Győr Ballet, the world-famous company of Iván Markó.
In the mid-1970s, a large housing estate was built on the outskirts of Győr, with about 30,000 inhabitants. The church asked the communist leadership to build a church on the housing estate. This was not a common request, as no new churches were built at that time. After a long tug-of-war, the city management allowed the construction of the new church, but not in the housing estate, but next to the public cemetery close to the housing estate. The construction of the church designed by Péter Ráskai began in the spring of 1985. The church was built mainly with public donations, with the support of foreign churches, and with the physical labor of the faithful. The completed Church of the Holy Spirit was consecrated on June 6, 1987.
Already when the church was consecrated, there was a small, 1-manual and pedal-operated, 8-register Klais organ in the church, which was donated to the church by the parish of Plöckendorf. This small organ is still functional, but not in use.
The church's three manual, 42-register mechanical sliding box, mechanical keyboard and electronic registration organ was built by the Aquincum organ factory based on the plans of Gábor Trajtler and Lukács Áment. The organ has 3,300 pipes and the reed registers were made by the Giesecke company. The blessing of the completed organ took place on December 17, 1989. The organ is currently the best concert organ in the city of Győr.
