The Huguenot Fountain is an important monument in Erlangen, commemorating the history of the Huguenots in the city. It is located in the extensive palace gardens, one of the earliest Baroque gardens in Franconia. In the 17th century, after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes by Louis XIV in 1685, numerous Protestant Huguenots fled France. Margrave Christian Ernst of Brandenburg-Bayreuth offered them refuge in Erlangen. The Huguenot Fountain was designed and erected by Elias Räntz in 1706. It was intended to honor the settlement of the French religious refugees and the Margrave's achievements.

Beautiful, well-maintained gardens. Even if the austerity of a Baroque garden has been somewhat softened, it's still worth a visit.
