Huguenot Church, Baroque church building in Erlangen, Germany.
The Huguenot Church is a Baroque church building with symmetrical facades, ornate altars, and large windows from the late 1600s. The interior spaces display the hallmarks of Reformed Protestant architecture with clean lines and functional design.
The building was constructed in 1693 as a refuge for French Protestants fleeing persecution. It stands as a record of when religious refugees found shelter in Germany and established new communities.
The church shows how French Protestant communities shaped local architecture and society in Erlangen. Visitors can still see today how the Reformed floor plan blends with the Baroque exterior design.
The church is centrally located in Erlangen and easy to reach on foot. Regular services and guided tours take place throughout the week, so check ahead for current opening times.
The church records document a shift from French to German services, with the last French language ceremony in 1822. This shows how descendants of French refugees gradually blended into the German-speaking community over generations.
