A 39-year-old man has been detained in relationship with a fire in the 15th-century cathedral in the French city of Nantes that piped out stained glass windows and damaged the grand organ, TV channel LCI reported on Sunday.
The man, a Rwandan refugee, served as a volunteer for the cathedral and had been in management of locking up the building on Friday night, LCI said, citing prosecutor Pierre Sennes. Sennes said the man in custody was being held to clear up discrepancies in his schedule.
He announced on Saturday that three fires had been ignited at the site and that there had been no indications of a break-in. Authorities declared an inquiry for suspected arson had been opened.
The blaze began on Saturday morning, engulfing the inside of the Gothic structure in flames. Firefighters brought it under control after several hours and extinguished it completely by the afternoon.
