Helsinki is a fairly new city so the oldest buildings are only as old as the United States. If you want old buildings, the west coast has some that date back to the13th century.

saint barthelemy collegiate church, construction started in the 11th century and lasted less than a hundred years so 900+ years old except for the towers which were rebuilt to look like the originals during the 19th century, the two aisles in grey stone on each side which were added during the 18th century, the neo classical portal and the french baroque interior

the church being in the historical center of the city it has been used continuously for over 900 years and had to be renovated and modified multiple times throughout history but the stones of the westwork, the original aisles and the chancel have been there for nearly a thousand years and except for the neo classical portal and the two additional aisles it looks almost exactly the way it did during the 12th century, especially since it was renovated in 2006 with its original ottonian style colours, before that the stone was apparent, they also restored the interior of the westwork back to its original style

the church also houses a 900 years old bronze baptismal font

Most got bombed away. Some are from 1200 though.

Nearly entire city got nazi'd and little remaining rest got commie'd. Fortunately Łazienki Park got almost unscathed.
This is the building from 1690. Rest of Łazienki is mostly from 18th and 19th century.

Apparently the reason why it wasn't blown up was that after seeing amphitheatre, Germans thought it was already destroyed.
