If you go to Bruges, many of the structures are of igneous rock. Also true of medieval castles (some, no specifics.) The High Street in the UK utilizes granite and diorites, but that might be too specific. Ultimately, it is very stable, ut not easy to work with.

What buildings are made from sedimentary rock?
Buildings can be made out of any of them. A lot of buildings are made from sandstones, they should be fairly easy to recognise as they will always have a relatively fine granular texture and very few large crystals. There are a lot of buildings made from granite (although a lot of "granite" actually isn't but will still be igneous) look for buildings with an obviously distinguishable patchwork texture of largish crystals. The most obvious building build from metamorphic rocks is the Taj Mahal in India

How do rock help us?
Many buildings and structures are made from rocks. Granite counter tops and bricks are made out of rocks so they help us build structures. Statues are many times made from rocks as well. That adds some aesthetic value to our lives as humans. In addition, many other things in our lives are made from rocks to baby powder from talc, pennies, wire and water pipes from copper, graphite in our pencils. So these are a few reasons.
