“Anker stones” (http://www.ankerstein.de/index.php?option=com_content&task=v..., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_Stone_Blocks) aren’t quite that, but also are better in the sense that you can build different buildings with them.

For example gothic architecture, see for example https://www.ankerwiki.de/Neue-Modelle-bis-Kasten-34/Kasten-N... or https://www.nikhef.nl/~i56/Anker.html (front of Chartres cathedral, gothic villa)
