The Huguenots were Calvinists. That's why the Calvin Church is also located on the Hugenottenplatz.

The Huguenot Church, also known as "Le Temple", was the first Huguenot church outside of France. It was a gift from Margrave Christian Ernst and was built between 1686 and 1693 according to plans by Johann Moritz Richter. Construction of the new town began with the laying of the foundation stone on July 14, 1686, and the 52 m high tower was not built until 1732-36.
The Margrave couple attended the service in their own box.
The church is only accessible to a limited extent. Information on opening times is available at: 09131 22164

The Evangelical Reformed Church in Erlangen is called the Huguenot Church. It was built between 1686 and 1693 according to plans by Johann Moritz Richter. It was built as part of the design of Erlangen's new town, a baroque planned town. The tower dates from 1732 to 1736. The Erlangen church is the oldest Huguenot church outside of France that is still in use. The Evangelical Reformed Church is also probably the most important church building in Erlangen.
