Idstein was a residence of the Counts of Nassau. The church building in the center of the historic "Altstadt" (old town) dates back to the 14th century, but its interior was changed in the 17th century to a Protestant "Predigt- und Hofkirche" (church for sermon and court), notable for 38 paintings of the Dutch Golden Age school of Rubens which become part of the architecture.
