Strings Hard

Why are my guitar strings too hard to press?
Recenlty I decided to bring life to my old classical guitar and start playing again, but some of the strings were missing and the pegs were broken so I bought new ones and replaced them all. I tuned the guitar using elctrical tuner and it sounds good when I try to play, BUT... the strings are EXTREMELY hard to press, and I do mean extremely.. I can play max. 1 min and I can't feel my fingers.. also I have to press them down using a lot of strenght. When I look at it, it seems like there is too much space between the guitar body and the strings. I wonder if this might be the problem, the guitar is pretty old (like 15 years), so maybe that's it.
The age of the guitar shouldn't matter, but you may have been sold or bought strings that really aren't correct for your guitar. Like strings for an electric instead of an acoustic. Or else the bridge is too high and you never noticed before b/c of the old striings.
