France: The listed Notre-Dame church in Bringolo burns down

Only the strong pillars of the building, the bell tower and the stone walls of which it is made remain standing. The interior is no longer recognisable. On the night of April 8th to 9th, the Notre-Dame church in Bringolo in the Côtes d’Armor department was largely destroyed by a fierce fire. The flames, fuelled by a wind typical of this small part of Brittany, quickly spread through the roof, which collapsed when the fire brigade arrived. The cause of the fire is still unclear, firefighters told the newspaper “20 Minutes”: the entire sixteenth-century church is in danger of collapsing. www.famillechretienne.fr
