Côte-d'Or Chapel Vandalized
The 13th century chapel of Saint-Ambroise of Busserotte-et-Montenaille, in Grancey-le-Château, was found completely ransacked.
Visitors to the countryside chapel discovered the damage, which included the theft of between 35 and 40 square meters of tiles, broken statues and overturned benches, on March 11th. For the small town, proud of its heritage, this event is a disaster. Maintenance work for the chapel had been previously budgeted, but now the cost to rehabilitate the chapel may prove to be impossibly expensive. The mayor has complained and police are investigating.
