Erlangen Attractions

In Erlangen's southeastern district of Tennenlohe is the Forest Museum, opened in 1975 (forestry equipment; exhibitions on ecological themes). Attached to the museum is an exhibition area.

In the Marktplatz (Schlossplatz) in Erlangen are two handsome Baroque buildings: the Stutternheim Palace (1728-30), now housing the Municipal Museum and Art Gallery, and the Schloss, the old Margravial Palace.

In Erlangen's old town are the three principal Protestant churches - the Hugenottenkirche (Huguenot Church; 1686-93), the Neustädterkirche (New Town Church; 1723-37) and the Dreifaltigkeitskirche or Altstädterkirche (Trinity Church, Old Town Church; 1709-21). The Old Town Hall (Altes Rathaus; 1731-36), adjoining Trinity Church, now houses the Municipal Museum (history of the town since the Middle Ages).
