Old Bauernhaus This 350-year-old house is older than the country, province and town it now sits in. Built in Bavaria and shipped to Canada in 1989, this rustic dwelling got its start as a shelter for servants of a nearby castle. Since then, this house, which has seen the black plague and two world wars in its time, has had stints as a farmhouse, a pub and, most recently, a elegant Kimberley restaurant. Address: 280 Norton Avenue Kimberley BC Canada V1A 1X9
