Summary/Abstract: This article deals with the geography of music as a research sub-area of cultural/human geography. Its purpose is to recognize the relationship of organs and space. Based on databases, publications and websites, it presents examples of the occurrence of organs in the landscape. Reference was also made to the phenomenon of experiencing pipe organ, including in virtual space. Finally, attention was drawn to the need to protect the organ as an element of space, and research perspectives on the topic were indicated. The research was qualitative and based mainly on a phenomenological approach. The analysis of the relationship between space and the organ made it possible to see the unique values of the instrument, which is an important part of world heritage and requires protection and activities aimed at popularization in society.
