The oldest church was built around 1200, on the remains of an older church from the 7th century and you can go below ground to view those. We also have some Roman ruins from a castellum build around the year 47 you can also go and view.
Edit: The castellum is gone, but there are just some walls and stones.
Here in Curitiba it's this church:
It's constantly maintained and renovated, but the building is 287 years old, built in 1737. (For reference the city itself is 331yo.)
It's kind of funny that people here don't typically remember the name of that church, Igreja da Ordem (Church of the Order; the "order" in question are the Franciscans). Instead they remember the name of the square that the church faces, named after the church - o Largo da Ordem (lit. "Order Plaza", but more like "the plaza of the church of the Order").
My guess is the cathedral that was started ca 1070. Other than that the oldest wooden buildings are from the 1700s.
In the city I live in, the oldest building is from ~1280. It was rebuilt quite a bit in 1767 though. It has housed restaurants since the 1930s. I pass it every day almost on my lunch walk :)
800 years.
Historians say the church was completed in the first quarter of the 13th century, that makes it somewhere between 799 - 824 years old.
We have so many Roman Ruins here in Aachen (Germany) cause this used to be a hotspot for Thermal baths back in the day. I don't think there are full roman buildings still hanging on though, just a few arches and columns.
The oldest intact building in my city is from 1320 - so 700 years old. Baguely Hall, which is an old landowners hall.
The city itself - Manchester - dates back to the roman era and we have the remnants of an old castrum/fort in the city centre dating back to 79 AD - so 1945 years old. Surprisingly there were more complete ruins at the site but much of it was levelled during the industrial revolution.
1904, maybe? It's the only one I know the age of. Maybe the court house is technically older, probably is, but it's been overhauled a lot.
As best as I can tell, just about 200 years
I’m sure there are older ones, but this one looks like someone left a few weeks ago even though it’s from the 1890’s. You can walk into it after a medium hike. There’s still soot in the fireplace.

The really old stuff from the native Americans might be around but I’m not familiar with it.
It's hard to say for the village I live in. There really are not many officials records but apparently one of the roof tiles had 16xx marked on it. Which makes this totally unassuming house somewhere around 400 years old.
