Old Synagogue, Medieval Jewish place of worship in Judenplatz, Vienna, Austria
The synagogue foundations reveal a three-room structure covering 210 square meters with a double-aisled hall and three distinct bays in its central section.
Archaeological excavations conducted between 1995 and 1998 uncovered the remains of this synagogue, which was first constructed in the middle of the 13th century.
The synagogue featured a hexagonal Bimah platform in the center between two columns, where glass lamps illuminated the religious ceremonies and gatherings.
The excavated foundations are now part of a museum complex at Judenplatz, accessible through guided tours that explain the medieval Jewish heritage.
The synagogue reached 465 square meters after renovations, making it among the largest medieval synagogues discovered in European archaeological records.
