Iconic Manhattan skyscrapers - Empire State Building for sure. Regardless of societal changes it will become a protected cultural heritage.
Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest - it’s just too big. Nobody likes it but but demolishing would be too expensive. I expect this situation to continue forever.
Eiffel Tower - another iconic landmark. And very simple to keep maintained as long as you have enough steel. If it gets destroyed for whatever reason, Parisians will rebuild it.
Sea reclamation structures in the Netherlands - Especially those built during 20th century. Even if active mechanisms fall out of use, it will remain around as a ruin of ancient civilization for a long time

Reminded me of this gif:
If we get a sea level rise of 23 meters the first floor of those skyscrapers will be underwater, which will drastically shorten their lifespan
