Idstein is very centrally located in the Rhine-Main metropolitan area, allowing quick access (20-45 minutes) to major towns and cities in the area, including Wiesbaden, Mainz, and Frankfurt. The name Idstein first appeared in 1102. In the 13th century, Idstein became the main castle of the Counts of Nassau (one of them was King of the German Nation), and the town grew around the castle. Numerous picturesque, historic buildings bear witness to the town's past. Especially impressive are the dungeon of the old castle (Witches' Tower), the baroque residence castle (today Idstein's grammar school), the historic town hall, and the complete ensemble of half-timbered buildings in the old town.
