Worms Synagogue, Medieval synagogue in Worms, Germany.
The synagogue features a rectangular prayer hall with two Romanesque columns supporting groin vaults and Gothic-arched windows in the northern city center.
The first synagogue structure, built in 1034 by Jacob and Rachel, was rebuilt in 1174 following destruction during the First Crusade of 1096.
The synagogue complex includes a 1212 women's school, the first documented structure of its kind in European Jewish history, connected through listening windows.
The synagogue functions as both an active religious center for the Jewish community and a museum, requiring male visitors to wear head coverings.
The ritual bath, constructed in 1185, extends nine meters underground and contains an anteroom leading to the main plunge pool.
