A major fire broke out on Tuesday morning at the 400-year-old Stock Exchange building in central Copenhagen, with its famed central spire reported to have collapsed.
Shortly after 8am on Tuesday morning, the building’s spire was completely surrounded by smoke and flames, and at 8.30am, it collapsed.
Copenhagen police have cordoned off the surrounding areas including Knippelsbro and the nextdoor Christiansborg Slotsplads, with roads likely to be closed for a significant period of time.
“It’s horrible. It was one of the city’s most beautiful buildings. I pass by here every day It’s Notre Dame all over again,” a passer by told Denmark’s state broadcaster DR.
We are met with a terrible sight. The stock market is on fire. We ask everyone to stay away from the area around Slotsholmen,” The Danish Chamber of Commerce, which owns the building, posted on X.
The Stock Exchange, or Børsen, on Slotsholmen in Copenhagen, was renowned for its spire, which is formed by four twisting dragon tails, and for the three crowns that top it off, symbolising the three kingdoms of Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
