Notre-Dame de Drosnay brente ned fredag og nok et uerstattelig historisk minnesmerke er redusert til aske. Kirken var fredet og var fra 15. og 16. århundre. Sammen med kirken forsvant mange historiske gjenstander: Altertavle og statuer.

Brannårsaken er foreløpig ukjent, men det er et faktum at kirker brenner og vandaliseres. Moskeer skjer det ingenting med, til tross for et ukelangt opprør.

“I saw the bell tower fall, I was in front, it’s weird, I’m in shock. There were a lot of people. For me, it was the symbol of our commune», Laments Mathis Perard, a resident of the village of Drosnay in the Marnen, with France 3 regions. At the end of the morning, Friday July 7, the Notre-Dame de l’omption church was ravaged by a fire. The fire started around 11:30 a.m. in the small timber-framed church, listed as a Historic Monument. Fortunately, the incident caused no casualties.

The mayor of the town, Emmanuel Le Roy watched helplessly as the building burned and the 41 firefighters equipped with 11 devices fought to extinguish the flames. “It’s not even that there’s a fire, there’s no longer a church in fact“, deplores the city councilor. Securing the premises was not an easy task, according to France 3 regions. “The roof has collapsed over approximately 90% of its surface“Explains the prefecture and the firefighters of the Marne in a press release.

Notre-Dame de Drosnay ligger ikke langt fra Marne, som er kjent fra 1. verdenskrig. Kirkene overlevde verdenskrigene, men ikke masseinnvandringen kan man si.

Kirkebranner får null oppmerksomhet i norske medier, selv ikke når svenske kirker brennes ned.
