CV NEWS FEED // A historic Catholic church in Saskatchewan, Canada, burned down the night of Feb. 21 in what locals and police suspect to be an arson attack.

The Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Church, also known by locals as “The Polish Church,” has stood since 1910, according to local outlet 980 CJME. Although it has been abandoned for decades, the Garden River church north of the city of Prince Albert has remained a landmark for the surrounding community for years.

The fire department was made aware of the blaze around 11 p.m. Friday night. However, Rebel News reported that nothing is left of the church except for “charred remains.”

According to SaskNOW, Royal Canadian Mounted Police confirmed that they are currently investigating the fire as suspicious.

Local official Reeve Ryan Scragg also suspects arson, 980 CJME reported.
