With its simple style, the "Huguenot Church" reflects the Reformed tradition of the church planters. Inside you can find a painting that shows the builder of the church, Issak Daniel Buirette zu Oehlefeldt, as well as the coat of arms of the "Buirettes" and the "Huguenot cross". The appearance of the cross corresponds to the shape of a Maltese cross. In addition, a tear can be seen on it as a symbol of the sufferings of the Huguenots, a dove as a symbol of the Holy Spirit and capped French royal lilies.

The hall church was built in 1753 from ashlar masonry. A square ridge turret rises from the half-hipped roof in the east, which houses the tower clock and the belfry and is covered with a bell dome. The pulpit with its sounding board is attached to the west wall of the interior between the two windows.

The Huguenot Church was consecrated on August 18, 1754. At this point there was already a little church that was consecrated in 1688 and was built by 15 refugee Huguenot families. In 1865 the independent parish was incorporated into Erlangen. In 1943 the last French Reformed man died. It was not until 1873 that the vicar from Emskirchen was allowed to hold Evangelical Lutheran services and it was not until 1950 that Wilhelmsdorf became an independent parish.
