"Prosecutors launched an arson investigation after the fire broke out on Saturday morning in three places at the gothic Cathedral of St Peter and St Paul. The blaze destroyed stained glass windows and the 17th-century organ, a star attraction of the cathedral.

About 100 firefighters saved the main structure, which was built between the 15th and 19th centuries.

Sennes confirmed that experts from a police unit specialised in fire investigations were at the scene. They were awaiting authorisation from firefighters to examine the platform on which the grand organ had stood."
