German Huguenot Museum

Short facts

  • Bad Karlshafen

The history of the Huguenots as religious refugees Tolerance, integration and assimilation.

Discover history.

Bad Karlshafen, founded in 1699 by Landgrave Carl to take in religious refugees from France, has retained its original character in its historic town center. In the middle of the baroque city center opposite the town hall, the German Huguenot Museum was set up on two floors in the former cigar factory, an important example of early industrial architecture.

When looking at the many pictures, documents, books and objects, the visitor feels the great distress of these people during the time of persecution. The Huguenots, expelled from France because of their faith, found a place in Bad Karlshafen. Visitors to the museum are encouraged to study the history of the religious refugees, which has many parallels in the present. The topic of Huguenot history was divided into the thematic areas Huguenots in France and Huguenots in the German Refuge.

In the German Huguenot Museum you can see a comprehensive documentation of the history of the Huguenots in clearly arranged sections.
This year three new showcases on the subject of "Huguenot companies" have been added.
