It is considered one of the most magnificent half-timbered houses in Idstein, particularly because of its richly decorated wood carvings, the striking oriel window, and the curved gable. The inscription on the facade reads (paraphrased): "Under God's protection, Johann Conrad Killing and Anna Margareta Loeberin built this house in 1615."

One often assumes that a castle pond must be ancient, but this one is a beautiful example of how to combine history and modern urban design. It was deliberately created as a body of water to emphasize the atmosphere of the castle and bring a tranquil green haven to the city. It's the ideal spot to park your bike for a while and stretch your legs on one of the benches. The mighty Residenzschloss is sometimes reflected in the water, making for a fantastic photo backdrop – especially in good weather! Enjoy the tranquility of the water, the gentle lapping, and recharge your batteries before plunging back into the hustle and bustle of the half-timbered houses. In short: The castle pond is a small, newly renovated refuge that every cyclist should use as a chill-out zone!

The approximately 42-meter-high Witches' Tower is the landmark of the town of Idstein and a real eye-catcher. Originally built as a butter churn tower, it served as the keep of the medieval Idstein Castle. Today, it attracts visitors with its striking silhouette and fascinating history—including dark legends from the time of the witch hunts.
