The Cloisters museum in New York City is built from parts of 11th- to 15th-century French monasteries. It has quite a back story, worthy perhaps of another video.

So, there's another building from this shipment of Hearst's in California. The Ovila monastery was similarly taken down, and intended for Hearst's house in Northern California- Wyntoon. The stones were left in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park after Hearst worked out a tax deal with the city. They sat for decades until they were discovered, and the monastic chapterhouse was rebuilt from about 75% of it's original stones in the town of Vina in Northern California. I didn't know there was a second!
I figured it would be Catholic and in Florida, but figured 1500s. Very interesting story! On a similar note, I know a St. Joan of Arc related chapel is in Wisconsin.
You’re correct. The Chapel of Saint Joan of Arc at Marquette University (Milwaukee, WI) is a smaller French stone chapel from the 1420s that was moved piece-by-piece from France and rebuilt to its original configuration in Milwaukee.
There's a shipped-and-reassembled medieval chapel near my hometown in Pennsylvania -- the owners claim that it belonged to Christopher Columbus's family, but I take that claim with a grain of salt. It's an interesting little building, though. On the same property there's a barn that has been converted into a community theater.
There _might_ be an older European building, sort of, in NYC. During WW2 Bristol was heavily bombed by the Luftwaffe, and much of the rubble was transported to NYC. Cargo ships would sail to Europe full of supplies, but return empty, so they loaded the rubble from Bristol as ballast. It was then dumped into the East river for land reclamation. The rubble is still under FDR Drive and Waterside Plaza. So there's a possibility there's an older church, or at least remnants of it, is there. At least 4 ancient churches in Bristol were destroyed, many more suffering considerable damage.
@@highviewbarbell yeah, it's pretty tenuous. I did say _sort of_ though. But it was in the middle of WW2, so they just shovelled everything into the ships' holds pretty indiscriminately, so there are substantial medieval medieval buildings buried there, albeit in pieces. In theory one could dig them up and rebuild them. I doubt anyone ever will, but it's fun to think about.
@@richardhollander323 the comment does say European but the video said just oldest. Also the Obelisk isn't a building but I though if we're counting some rubble we could count that
Like Mr Discreet I thought i was a mistake and really a later era monastery after Spaniards came to Americas, it was shipped in to explain 1200's date. My reply post to his is gone.
San Francisco has it's own story of a monastery. Alas, there was a fire that burned some of the crates with the stones. The numbers of the stones was compromised & the structure was never built. A visit to the botanical garden you can see the stones used throughout the garden as decoration.
I'm not sure if it might be interesting for you. As an architect, I think the first most noticeable clues you have are the mortar and the masonry layout. At 2:00 you can see how the stones have been purposefully arranged to follow a somewhat irregular pattern. In real amcient buildings this is not very common, they would have generally followed courses (that may have different thickness) and you would want to avoid as much as possible the allignment of vertical joints for they weaken the structure. You can see this very clearly in the buttresses. Irregular brickwork does happen in many historical buildings but it is generally found when there is a seam between special pieces or geometries or where portions of the structure were built or re-built in different periods or due to contingencies the available materials were different (there are of course many exceptions that we can't list here). I would also be surprised if the grey stones that create the wall on the left come from the site. You can also see how the buttresses seem entirely disjoined from the wall which would have been a major weakness. My impression is that these are not loadbearing stone walls but stone was used as cladding with probably a steel or bricks structure inside it though i can't be sure of this from here. The wall you see at 2:40 (which incidentally is the inside face of the same wall showing clear contraddiction between the materials on the two sides) is much more reasonable and you can see rows of stones that look way more plausible. Here though, as well as in the exterior, you very much appreciate how crudely they placed the gracefull limestones with thick layers of dark gray cement mortar that gives the joints a very alien prominence. Mortar was used in the middle ages with different thicknesses but it was generally lime mortar with different mixtures. It would have been of a light colour somewhat symilar to that of the stones themselves and would have made the stucture look way more harmonious. It was not uncommon to have the wall plastered as well though it was more common in brick buildings and i don't specifically know the history of this building. Finally it is somewhat weird that it looks like there are not many spaces facing the cloister. The whole side on the left of the entrance serves no function and no volume is visible on the perpendicular side as well. The cloisters were the distribution space of monasteries and the structures of the monks houses, refectory, kitchen, chapter hall, libraries and other amenities would have faced them and had their doors on the cloister. Exceptions do exist though in this case i suspect that they decided to ship only the portion of the building they deemed valuable leaving all the stuff that to them looked more humble and common. This leaves a building that is only a simulacrum of itself. The charm of the old carved capitals and the proportion of selected spaces is there but everything else was unfortunately lost.

Nobody got your rose bud quote. And the movie citizen Kane is more about Orson Wells than it is about William Randolph Hearst. Orson Wells was more like that character in real life.
It depends on the construction concept adopted here. Being brought from another place is not really a construction but using materials for a new construction. In that case, the oldest building in the Americas is South America.
"Oldest European building in the west hemisphere" - quite a bold statement, considering quite a lot of Europe and Africa lies in the west hemisphere as well...
I read about this monastery, and planned my visit so I could attend a church service in the chapel...IN SPANISH. How special was that ! I thought, "Wow, attending a church service in a 12th century Spanish monastery IN THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE and HERE in America least of all !" TIME and GEOGRAPHY were the only things separating me from those Spanish monks...
Really good question, I'm also curious how they went about sorting through it later on, or if what we see was cobbled together based on speculation and notes on other monastery layouts.
This is a great video, and a really interesting story. But this is far from the oldest intact building in the US. The oldest intact building in the US that I can think of is . . . actually one that this channel has also done a video on, the Egyptian/Roman Temple of Dendur, now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. ua-cam.com/video/3Cp2crVAAU4/v-deo.html And if by "America" you were to include all of the Americas, there may well be older intact structures made by the indigenous peoples of Central or South America.
I like the series of videos but ummm this videos title is certainly exaggerated. The title doesn’t narrow the field down to European buildings, so was hoping ..against the thumbnail …that we might be headed to one on the mesa topping Pueblo city sites of the southwest that have been pretty much continuously occupied for over a thousand years. Or more on the topic of the ancient Mediterranean world, I might have imagined something more in the topic of this channel ( more that the 11th century French church of this video) like the Temple of Dendur at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.

Well, excpt, you know the Hopi village of Oraibi has been there and continuously inhabitated for about 3,000 years? And a lot of the buildings stand from hundreds and hundreds of years ago. Not to mention ruins no longer occupied elsewhere in the southwest. So the title is really misleading
