Probably means that they don’t have any records of when it was built exactly, but they have a record from 1345 mentioning the existence of the house.

So apparently this house is located in Basel (Switzerland) at the modern address Rheingasse 64. It was first mentioned in a local monastery's tax book from 1345, hence the inscription.

if you ever visit Vienna and you like old buildings and wine, take a train out of the main city for like an hour and a half and visit a place called Mautern. They have a building and wine cellar that is from the roman-empire's time (about 2000 years old). Place is called Nikolai hof.
