Any handy people over here?
While renovating the attic, I found something puzzling behind some built-in closets (and a cringe-worthy bag filled with dirty socks and underwear, yuck!).
The previous homeowner was a (bad) DIY enthusiast, and we’ve been undoing his handiwork for quite some time now. I suspect this was his doing as well. It’s connected to a chimney, but not a fire chimney; rather, it’s for the pipes of the condensing boiler, which extend through the roof.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Also, next question. Can I remove it?
Many thanks,

Talking about the grey PVC pipe here.
Many thanks
Just a guess but this could be how the condensation of the condensing boiler is let off? A condensing boiler will produce quite a bit of water which needs to go somewhere.
If you want to get rid of this, be wary of using a condensation pump. They are notorious for failing very often. Finding another way to let the water off gravitationally would be your best bet, if possible.
Maybe preparation for a satellite dish, with a coax cable inside?
Wachtbuis?
Poor man ventilation like this maybe? https://brico-plomberie.com/index.php/2014/11/08/ventilation-de-chute/
Stankpipe?
Thats a pipe
I applaud you using Chesterton’s fence.

I would try to follow the pipe on the level below to understand where it starts before removing it
Ventilation of the waste pipe is a possibility. It is useful to prevent that flushing the toilet empties the water in syphons of a sink etc.
Should have been bigger probably
Tube for a cable? It can be for the external temperature sensor for the condensation boiler?
The sensor looks like little box 6x6x2cm.
