What is the oldest written source in this country that mentions this right?

Denmark

In the 1953 constitution, Article 72 protects the right to privacy in the home, while also preventing the search of private communications. It states that “The dwelling shall be inviolable,” which includes “house searching, seizure, and examination of letters and other papers.” (Constitute Project, “Demark 1953” ) The general form of the constitution derives from the 1849 Danish Constitution (Danish Parliament, “The Constitutional Act of Denmark”).
