It became Lutheran during the Reformation. Its interior was adapted in the 17th century to become a Lutheran Predigt- und Hofkirche (sermon and court church).

The most prominent decoration in the church is the series of 38 paintings by the Flemish painter Michael Angelo Immenraedt, an exponent of Flemish Baroque painting, and others. They follow a program of biblical scenes. The church was named Unionskirche in 1917 to commemorate the union of Lutheran and Reformed Protestants in the Duchy of Nassau in August 1817, the first of its kind (before the Prussian Union in September of the same year). The Unionskirche is a recognized monument under the Hague Convention. It is used by the Protestant congregation, and it is open to other institutions as a concert venue, including concerts of the Rheingau Musik Festival. It features an organ built in 1912 by Walcker Orgelbau and retaining the historic case dating back to 1783. The church was restored from 2012 to 2017, completed for 500 years since the Reformation and 200 years since the Union. The restoration was awarded the Hessischer Denkmalschutzpreis (Hessian monument preservation prize). (en)
  • De Uniekerk (Duits: Unionskirche) in Idstein is een protestants kerkgebouw aan de Martin-Luther-Straße. Het gebouw dateert oorspronkelijk uit de 14e eeuw, maar het bijzondere interieur werd in de 17e eeuw op zeer luisterrijke wijze in een protestantse preek- en hofkerk veranderd. De eenvoudige naam "stadskerk" werd in 1917 vervangen door de naam "Uniekerk". De naam heeft betrekking op de fusie van de lutherse en calvinistische protestanten in het Hertogdom Nassau in 1817, hetgeen de eerste fusie van deze beide kerkelijke stromingen was in het Duitse Rijk. In 1917 werd het eeuwfeest van deze unie gevierd. (nl)
