In the Netherlands we've got plenty of old things and they are celebrated. People, places, even some old ideas date back to years that start with 14 or 15, sometimes even earlier.

One of the most famous old fixtures of Amsterdam is the Houten Huys, the Wooden House, located within the beautiful Begijnhof. Until recently the Wooden House was believed to have been built in 1452. That was until researchers uncovered new evidence this month that the house was actually built around 1528, making it younger but still keeping the title of oldest house in Amsterdam.

Here's how wikipedia explains it:

The ancient, restored wooden house ("Houten Huys", 34 Begijnhof, picture) is famous as one of the two wooden houses still existing in the center of Amsterdam (the other one being 1 Zeedijk); there are annexed villages like Nieuwendam (Amsterdam North) with many wooden houses and even a wooden church [1]. This house dates from about 1528, and is probably the oldest wooden house in the Netherlands.
