The San Miguel Mission is the oldest church in the continental United States.
The structure was built around 1610 or so, so it's been operating for about four centuries. Mass is still held on Sundays here.
The adobe walls are still intact, although some work has been done on the structure over the years. A bell now found inside the church was said to be cast in Spain in 1396. There are even some paintings from the 1600s in the building.
