#Amsterdam, the #Netherlands – A major fire broke out in the Vondelkerk just before 1:00 a.m. The fire is mainly raging at the top of the church tower and can be seen from quite a distance.

@MiBaWi yikes, a nice strong wind too. I hope they can get it out before it spreads!

@akamran @MiBaWi update: the tower has collapsed, the church probably is lost.

@MiBaWi Oh no. That's gone. I wouldn't think they'll put a Notre Dame type of rebuilding effort into the Vondelkerk.
