We’re being kept in the dark as to who did this, of course, but I think we all recognize an act of war when we see one.

Vondelkerk was built in 1872, & designed by Pierre Cuypers, whose legacy also includes Amsterdam Central Station & Rijksmuseum. Named after 17th-century poet Joost van den Vondel, the neo-Gothic cross-basilica was originally known as the “Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus” pic.twitter.com/gjpbjDjihv
