The stained glass window depicting Jesus Christ in the church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Tour was found smashed.

It is surmised that this act of vandalism was likely committed with a rifle or air pistol, as a fine mesh that protects the exterior windows would have probably prevented such damage by stones being thrown.
