Rengsdorf church vandalised with stones

Country: Germany

Date of incident: August 1, 2024


As reported in September 2024, the Catholic Church of St Kastor in Rengsdorf, Rhineland-Palatinate, was again the target of vandalism in early August. In a recent incident, unknown persons threw stones at the church, breaking three large stained glass windows facing the street. A window to the sacristy and a display case were also damaged.

This act of vandalism was discovered by the church's sexton, Franz-Rudolf Nalbach, who noticed that the right-hand window had been broken three to four weeks before the report.

This is not the first time St Kastor has been vandalised; a similar incident occurred in 2021.
