Built around 1340 as the collegiate church of St. Martin, including older parts of a previous building, from 1669 it was redesigned as a sermon and court church. Extensive use of Lahn marble for arcades, columns, baptismal fonts, altars, pulpit and tombs. On the ceiling 38 canvas paintings based on biblical themes in the style of the Rubens School, painters Michael Angelo Immenradt and Johann von Sandrart. Burial place of the Counts and Princes of Nassau.

The church was the first significant church building in the Duchy of Nassau after the Thirty Years' War and, like the nearby Killingerhaus and the Höerhof, bears the international protection symbol for cultural property according to the Hague Convention.
The outstanding baroque interior design is extraordinary for a Protestant parish church.
