In Europe, people often pay extra to live in buildings which are several hundred years old.

I live in such a building. Only the facade is hundreds of years old, the rest has been completely redone multiple times over its lifetime. The entire building gets stripped, including the floors. New floors are placed, then the walls, then the interior walls. Even the foundation was completely replaced once.

You mean they pay to live in that 1 out of 100 buildings of that age that is still standing and on which multiple extensive renovations have been conducted.
