This is the clock of the reformed church 'Franzosenkirche' (French Chruch) in Schwabach, Germany, Bayern. The church can be found at the 'Boxlohe'.
The clock is mounted on all four sides of the tower.
It has a green background, golden fingers and Roman literals.
The church has been built in 1686/87 by emigrants from France.
They have been forced to emigrate because of their denomination.
There has been about 500 'French'. They have been called 'Hugenotten'.
It was the first 'Hugennotten Church' in Germany.
This church is still in the denomination of a Evangelical Reformed Church. The worship is held in German since 1857.
