A fire on 3 October has destroyed the 110-year-old church of Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Allégresses in the city of Quebec in north-eastern Canada.
By the time the fire was put out the same day, the roof had completely collapsed, and one of the two bell towers had been destroyed as well, according to local media.
There were no reported injuries or deaths, while no information was released about the potential causes of the fire at the time, reportsThe Epoch Times.
Canada has experienced a wave of cross-country church fires and arson attacks in the aftermath of claims in 2021 that ground-penetrating radar had uncovered the possible burial sites of 215 children at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School that had been run by the Catholic Church in British Columbia.
