Yeh, moved to Michigan from England and was taken to the oldest pub in the city, 120 years old. My local pub used to be a hunting lodge used by Henry VIII

In 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/

Just 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.

> 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.

[raffraffraff]

Because he's an asshole, pain and simple. I hope they deport him.

Yeah they should have kept the website in its original 15th century markup.

Percentage sizing was only added in the 16th century though.

I really want to pay a visit

Will always remember my visit to The Old Wellington pub in Manchester. It was built in 1552 and is the oldest building in the city.

Friends 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]

Lyon'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://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.
