Description

Bad Karlshafen in northern Hessen has an impressive historic town centre built in the baroque style. Landgrave Karl von Hessen-Kassel originally established the town in 1699 to provide a new home for Huguenot refugees from France and to support an economic upturn in the region. 
Today, the German Huguenot Museum is dedicated to the history of these Reformed Christians. The exhibition tells of the Huguenots' suffering and persecution, their flight from their home country of France and their new beginnings in German territories.
