Not necessarily, it depends on environment conditions and how good the wood was treated in its active time. A little bit of wax from time to time, thats all.
Especially hardwood aging is extremely slow.
In Germany we have quite wet weather conditions but we also have half-timbered houses, which are hundreds of years old.
The house in the picture is from 1617.
