Erlangen is one of the best preserved of German towns, with baroque-style streets laid out in a rectangular arrangement. Together with the Huguenot Church and the Margravial Palace, the design is an outstanding example of architectural cohesion. Many visitors to Erlangen wonder about the huge map pins that are dotted all over the town. The idea of this project is to draw attention to historical buildings around town.Margravial Palace with orangery and gardens
The townscape is dominated by the early 18th century baroque palace, Erlangen's most striking building. To the left of the building is the 1705 orangery and beyond that, the palace gardens. To the north of the palace are the botanical gardens and the baroque Margravial Theatre.Baroque Margravial Theatre
The Margravial Theatre may look rather unassuming from the outside, but inside there is a hidden gem of baroque architecture. It is the oldest baroque theatre still in use in southern Germany.Huguenot Church
The Huguenot Church was the first place of worship built outside France by the Huguenots who had fled from France. Inside, simplicity is the key. The loggia, pulpit and priceless baroque organ are particularly remarkable.
