Shortly afterwards the church burned down, and it soon became clear that the building could not be repaired. The Шаблон:Convert church tower collapsed around 6:00 pm. In November 2009 it had been discovered that there were twelve faults in the electrical system of the church, and the police investigation concluded that faulty contact in a cable for the electric heating ovens was indeed the cause of the fire.[7]
