Ritzau Scanpix/Liselotte Sabroe via REUTERSFirefighters work on putting out the still-smouldering blaze at the Boersen, Copenhagen's Old Stock Exchange in Denmark, April 17, 2024.
Among the parts lost in the blaze was the large hall which in the 17th century had housed the stalls of commodities traders, said the Danish Chamber of Commerce, which owns the building. "It gives me hope because we have decided to rebuild the stock exchange because it's part of European history as a trading continent," he said.
Police investigating the incident said it could take months to determine the cause. No one was hurt in the blaze.The loss of the 17th century landmark was a sad moment for the capital, teacher Eva Simoni Lomholdt, 58, told Reuters. "When the building was on fire yesterday we were saving almost all of the valuables in there. Things that were 300-400 years old and part of our national heritage," the chamber's Mikkelsen said.
