Francke Foundations

Discover the extraordinary developments of a 300-year history of education deep in the heart of Halle.

The Francke Foundations are today a dynamic institution for culture and learning that is home to Europe's only baroque cabinet of curiosities to be preserved in its entirety. Other attractions at the site include a purpose-built secular library (the oldest in Germany) with stage-set shelving and a year-round cultural programme encompassing historical exhibitions, talks, guided tours and festivals.
