An old church going back to the early 1800s, though that's misleading.
The old part of the church is still there, but it's been updated and expanded over the years so that the foundation under one part is all that's original now.

A castle built in 1526. It’s still in use, but it’s a museum and restaurant now.
Our old town hall was originally built in the 15th century but it is kind of a ship of Theseus situation as the oldest parts were destroyed in WWII.
My home town has a building built originally in 1220. It is still in use by a pub. That's over 800 years old!
is it called "Seáns Bar" by any chance? 😁
Proper building was built at the end of 19th century. There is an old well that is a few hundred years old and the ruins of a Roman villa from about 2000 years ago.
I'm not sure if it's THE oldest one, but Aarhus Cathedral is quite old, having elements from all the way back from the 1100s.
Still young compared to the city itself, though: Aarhus was originally founded in the 700s
Probably the 1840s in use. Ruins probably go back to the 13th century or thereabouts but they are no longer buildings..
Build in 1723.
1310 it's a small house (max. 10m wide) in the town centre. Today it's part of the library of the University hosting different exhibitions. It's called Günter Grass Archiv in Göttingen, Germany.
That will probably be the church that was built in 1190s
it's a bit hard to tell. of the buildings still standing and in use, the cathedral comes to mind, with was consecrated in 1238, but it stands on the site of the old mosque. this was torn down apparently in 1262, at which point construction on the cathedral began, but it would take centuries to finish everything.
there is another church that was named a parish in 1245 and so was probably already standing then, so perhaps that building is the oldest? I don't knoe how much of that original building is still standing though
A church from 1845(ish),
Apparently there was one building from the 1830s but it was knocked down for a hospital, which ironically was also knocked down.
A house from 1867, although a suburb has a house from 1853. Both are still lived in.
The Old Tower from around 1300. It was part of a church that was destroyed in 1880.
It was built in 1858! Did not know that.
A building from 1841 is still here from the French.
I figured it'd at least be a little older than 1859, but the Four Mile House in Denver is apparently our oldest structure.
Used to live in an old house that was already in official documents since the revolution. So not too bad. Walls were so thick...
Early 1800s is the best guess. It's a log house that is maintained as a sort of museum these days.
1626, three-storied house.
1887 Grissom House
1870 to 1871 Government house was built in Darwin Australia.
Luckily survived the Japanese bombing raids and still stands today.
1842, before the city was incorporated. A house. First big building I know of was built in 1888.
St. Augustine has buildings from around 1700, those would be the oldest in my state.
I remember going to London and being amazed by the old buildings, most of what is around here is from the 1920s or newer.
Late 1800’s is when the town was established. Lots of houses from then are still standing, but a good number of them have had additions built, so they’re not 100% original.
