The Sint-Ghislenuskerk located in the Belgian town of Waarschoot with parts of the original church dating back from 1642 to 1786 was set ablaze by a school boy in on New Year's Eeve of 2001-2002, leaving a big part of the church in ruins. The church was eventually rebuilt in 2007. I personally like the outside a lot, I like how the old church is still the main focus of the building. I think the inside is a bit too bland and cold.
