- MarkusWandel 2y agoIn my hometown in Germany there's a bakery that's been in basically continous operation since about the time Christopher Columbus set sail. Annoyingly modern web site, and of course in German: https://www.fidelisbaeck.de/ https://www.fidelisbaeck.de/

- INTPenis 2y agoYeah they should have kept the website in its original 15th century markup.
- raffraffraff 2y agoJust the other day a moron set light to the crypt in St Michan's church in Dublin. It housed the ~800 year old mummified remains of a body that was called "The Crusader". Destroyed, along with other priceless mummies. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Michan's_Church,_Dublin https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Michan's_Church,_Dublin
- freilanzer 2y ago> On 11 June 2024, a man set a fire in the crypt, resulting in the destruction of five mummies, including "The Crusader". Why though!? God dammit.

- space_oddity 2y agoWill always remember my visit to The Old Wellington pub in Manchester. It was built in 1552 and is the oldest building in the city.
- larsrc 2y agoFriends of mine lived for a while in Rennes in one of the only buildings to survive a fire in the 18th century. It was from 15-something and had nary a right angle to it. A bit scary to go up the stairs, but quite cool.
- contingencies 2y agoLyon's Musée de l'Imprimerie et de la Communication graphique is also 15th century and very oddly angled. https://www.imprimerie.lyon.fr/en/edito/presentation_musee https://www.imprimerie.lyon.fr/en/edito/presentation_musee https://thisislyon.fr/things-to-do/museums/museum-of-printing-and-graphic-communication/ https://thisislyon.fr/things-to-do/museums/museum-of-printin... Also in Lyon, the church of Saint Paul was built in 549 and rebuilt in the 11th and 12th centuries.
