Maison sublime, Medieval Jewish house in Rouen, France
The stone building features Hebrew inscriptions on its walls and stands beneath the current Palace of Justice in Rouen's former Jewish quarter.
Construction of this Romanesque structure dates to 1100, making it the oldest remaining Jewish building in France discovered during 1976 excavations.
The Hebrew inscriptions found within include references from the Book of Kings, indicating the structure's connection to medieval Jewish scholarship.
