The Huguenot fountain created in 1706 by the Bayreuth court sculptor Elias Räntz shows a cone-shaped rocky mountain in an oval fountain basin (29 × 19.5 m), which is divided into three levels. On the lowest level, noble Huguenot families are depicted, above them ancient deities and at the top Margrave Christian Ernst. The cartouches pointing to the four cardinal points contained texts praising the margrave, which have since disappeared. An opening in the rock cone allows a view of the Margrave's equestrian statue.

An inscription on the fountain says: "The sandstone fountain was completed in 1706 under Margravine Elisabeth Sophie; the sculpting work was done by Bayreuth court sculptor Elias Räntz. The view at the foot of the Felsenberg allows a visual connection from the garden exit of the castle to the equestrian monument in the eastern part of the castle garden The figure program in the lower level refers to the Huguenots who immigrated to Erlangen, the upper level represents deities.Looking to the west is the statue of Margrave Christian Ernst, the founder of the Erlangen Neustadt, at the top, surmounted by Fama, the personification of fame ."
