What are some of the oldest/protected/listed buildings in your country, /his/?

This is the Shah Jahan Mosque, in Woking. Built in 1889, it is a Grade I listed building, which puts it in the same category as other famous British structures like the Palace of Westminster or the Tower of London. It was the centre of Islam in Britain until around the 1960s when a large influx of Pakistani muslims resulting in many more new mosques being built. Still, from the 19th Century to the 1960s/1970s it was the first and most significant centre for Britain's historic muslim community; it was from Shah Jahan Mosque that the first popular English translations of the Quran came.

>Everton Lock-Up, sometimes known as Prince Rupert's Tower or Prince Rupert's Castle, is a village lock-up located on Everton Brow in Everton, Liverpool. The 18th-century structure is one of two Georgian lock-ups that still survive in Liverpool; the other is in Wavertree. It is famous for being the centre-piece of the crest of Everton FC

>The Grade II-listed building, which was opened in 1787, was originally an overnight holding place where local drunks and criminals were taken by parish constables. Prisoners would then be brought before local Justice of the peace for trial. Punishments would usually be similar to community service such as clearing ditches, unblocking drains or removing rubbish

Same people too. They've never been kicked off their land. They're pretty proud of that.
It's a UNESCO site for a reason. The picture makes it look smaller than it actually is.
