The tower of the historic Boersen stock exchange collapses as the building is on fire in central Copenhagen, Denmark on Apr 16, 2024. COPENHAGEN: A huge fire on Tuesday tore through Copenhagen's 17th-century former stock exchange, toppling the historic building's landmark spire in front of horrified and emotional witnesses.
"A lot of old Danish paintings, originals are in there. I've been in there several times and it's a magnificent building so it makes me feel very emotional," added Moltke. Danish rescue services said that they could not give"any guarantees" that the facade of the building could be saved. "It's a copper roof, and it's simply impossible to get under that roof, so the fire has plenty of time to build intensity," Vedsted Andersen told the Ritzau news agency.
Images from the scene showed several people carrying works of art, including a painting of the building. The most valuable paintings in the building were quickly moved to the nearby National Museum of Denmark.
