The mikvah is located in the garden of the synagogue. It was built in the years 1184 to 1186 in the Romanesque style. It is one of the äoldest preserved ritual baths in the world. An above-ground bathhouse, demolished in the 19th century, also in Romanesque style, probably also served the Säuberung.

Today, a staircase leads to a narrow antechamber, which probably served as a changing niche. From there, a semicircular curved staircase leads seven meters down to the water level. The mirror is today at seven meters from the ground surface.
