Thank you. So sweet of you
Here is the answer in more detail.
In 1945, Grace Murray Hopper working in a World War I temporary building not equipped with air conditioning, the Harvard Mark II computer stopped. After some searching Grace discovered a moth beaten to death in the jaws of a relay. After extracting the moth and taping it into the machine log-book, she reported, using a euphemism originated by Thomas Edison, that she had "debugged the computer"

As in metres below sea level? Or as in a historical low?

I wouldn't say it was "in" Europe. Wikipedia says it is between Europe and Asia - and to me it looks like it is all in Asia.
I would imaging that if it is the lowest point it would have to be lowest point on land.

Must be in Holland, it is below sea level

If we are talking Western Europe then it's a tie between Lemmefjord in Denmark and Prins Alexander Polder in the Netherlands: 23 feet / 7 meters below sea level, at least thats according to georgraphy.com (Sad but informative)
The Caspian sea shouldn't count as it's a sea, so it can't be below sea level

what you call 'sea level' is actually the ocean surface level. the dead sea is the lowest point in the world on land, its water surface is (approx) -400m so clearly a sea can be below 'sea level'.
