The “Felsenkirche” church – legendary and unique
The town’s famous landmark is the prominent medieval church (built between 1482 and 1484) situated in a prominent location above Idar-Oberstein. Just the ascent is a worthwhile experience: The interior is accessed via
a tunnel that has been carved into the solid rock, which leads you over approx. 220 steps.
Please note that the “Felsenkirche” church is closed to visitors during wedding ceremonies. Since 2023, the gates of the Felsenkirche are once again open to visitors on selected dates.
Opening hours: Dates for public tours of the church can be found here.
