Fire guts Paris historic St. Sulpice church
Fire at the Saint Sulpice Church in Paris as recorded by a passerby Fire has been reported at Paris historic St. Sulpice church, built in the 19th Century.
According to Le Parisien, firefighters are extinguishing the blaze, which burst through the doors of the 19th Century building.
The wooden doors were on fire, and a stained glass window was damaged. The rest of the damage seems minor, the daily newspaper said.
Dramatic footage shared on social media shows the interior of the church in flames, with smoke billowing up to its arched roof. From outside, video footage shows firefighters hosing down the burning doors
The Roman Catholic church is the second biggest church in the city after Notre Dame. It is 113 metres long, 58 metres in width and 34 metres tall.
Construction of the church, dedicated to Sulpitius the Pious, began in 1646. During the 18th century, an elaborate gnomon, the Gnomon of Saint-Sulpice, was built.
Arson?
Seems likely.
Gosh, I WONDER who would hate that church, right..?
It's such a mystery.
A couple of days after St. Denis was trashed.
What a coincidence.
Church fire?
Holy Smokes!
Democrats are systematically trying to destroy our history, heritage, culture, monuments and Americana in general so arson in France is not an unreasonable suspicion.
Crusades II is warranted.
Scumbag muslems are using the chaos to further their hate.
It gets blamed on the ones who want lower taxes.
Seems it’s on its way...
Bad candles?
White smoke, new Pope? Please?
Muslims don’t like churches. That would be my first suspicion in Paris. I wonder where in Paris the church was located. The neighborhood may have changed.
Well, let’s see, pewdepie and Candace Owens shoot a mosque in Christchurch and this...dunno. Probably Amish
We need to ban fire now!! We need Much more strict fire laws!
Mooslims.... Doing their thing...
A most wonderful church.
I remember that it had the most huge, wonderful tapered candles everywhere. I hope that won’t force them to install those awful electric things.
Muslim lightning...
Sounds like Macron is turning up the heat on the weekly protests.
Amish, or renegade antifa masquerading in yellow vests??
