A hard blow for the parishioners of Bagnac-sur-Célé (Lot). On the night of October 12 to 13, the town's church was broken into and several religious objects were stolen. According to The Dispatch of this Tuesday, November 12, the material damage was recently estimated at €15,000.
A complete inventory
The estimate was made by a departmental heritage inventory manager. He went to the church to take a “floor to ceiling” inventory of the building, including the objects of worship and the furniture. On this occasion, the three church bells were cleaned and dated, the oldest dating back to the beginning of the 19th century.
