And some in fire

[winter]

The church I was christened in partly burned down today. (Link: photo gallery of the blaze in progress.)

I hear they rescued the collection of old clocks. I haven't heard about the carillion.

A strange day, today.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that. Cool old churches need to be cherished. Can they rebuild it?

It definitely will. The evening news carried more detail - apparently the roof fell in, but stopped at the ceiling without damaging it structurally. A similar thing happened to our parish church two years ago, and they had it fixed in two weeks flat. For an ancient church like that, it'll be longer, but it's the richest parish in all of Gdansk :)
