As early as the 13th century, Saint-Paul-Trois-Ch\u00e2teaux sheltered a large Jewish community of around 70 families. Nestled in the heart of the medieval city, between the market square and the Episcopal palace, the memory of this quarter, or \u201cquarry\u201d persists through the name \u201cJewry Street\u201d. It was composed of a few small, well delimited, streets that were closed each evening. During the Middle Ages, the city was an Episcopal center under the dominion of the Holy Roman Empire. The Jewish community was thus protected from the successive interdictions of the Kingdom of France (under Philippe Auguste, Louis IX, etc.). It seems to have thrived in the 14th century, especially after the expulsion in 1934. Starting in the middle of the 15th century, the lives of Jewish people became increasingly difficult due to new repressive measures. Those living in Saint-Paul-Trois-Ch\u00e2teaux did not escape this fate and only three families were still present in 1486.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
