To those from the Western hemisphere, it’s always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of the Mayans.

Surprise surprise, it’s a church. Riddarholmen Church built in the 13th century.
First or second century for the Roman baths. They’re not in a great state though.
142 years.
Interesting that it was moved to a different lot in 1986.
And looks like any other house, just with fancy window frames.
I like that you figured out the city I was referring to. Not that I made it that hard.
The first Roman fort on the site of the castle was likely built around 55AD.

It was built in the 1820s
There’s some debate on the age of the old parish church where I live. It was either built on the 7th century or 1078
The oldest building would be the cathedral built between 1628 and 1633 although the city walls were built between 1613-1618 and are still standing and complete
The student dorm I lived in was built as a monastery in 1491.
My current home town still has a guard tower built by the Romans.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.
Gamle Aker Kirke, church from 1150 (Oslo).
Weve got Roman era ruins I think, but I cant find any info on the oldest standing building. Probably from the 13th-14th century.
I used to live in Regensburg, one of the northernmost Roman garrisons. So, the oldest remaining building (stone wall) is almost 2000 years old.
We’ve got a pub from 1552 still standing and operating as a pub
We’ve got Roman ruins from 79AD too, but obviously they’re not still a building really
A castle built in 1526. It’s still in use, but it’s a museum and restaurant now.
Most sources suggest 1100s
