    Built in 1435, the organ in the Basilica of Valère is at the heart of the Valère Organ and Ancient Music Festival. The 180 organ pipes - for as many different notes - from that period still exist, and around 180 additional pipes have been added over the centuries. It is located in Sion, Switzerland.
