Bain rituel juif de Strasbourg, Medieval ritual bath in central Strasbourg, France.

The Jewish ritual bath consists of a square chamber measuring three meters on each side, with Roman arches supporting a vaulted ceiling.

Built around 1200, the mikveh served the Jewish community until 1349 when persecution during the Black Death led to their expulsion from Strasbourg.

This ritual bath represents the sole remaining medieval Jewish structure in Strasbourg, discovered during renovation work in 1985 beneath modern buildings.

The bath chamber contains a central basin that holds 500 liters of groundwater and opens for guided visits on Sunday mornings during summer months.

Archaeological excavations revealed wooden structures and brick pavements that indicate complex construction methods used in medieval Jewish ritual baths.
