The Stock Exchange
The Stock Exchange is a building on Slotsholmen in Copenhagen. It was built in the 1620s as a commercial building by Christian IV and functioned as a commodity exchange until the 19th century. Until 1974, the building housed the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. The Stock Exchange is considered one of the finest examples of Dutch Renaissance architecture in Denmark. Today, the fire site is owned by Dansk Erhverv, and served as an office building and headquarters for one of the country’s largest business and employer organizations.
Early on 16 April 2024, a fire broke out in the Stock Exchange, and the Dragon Spire collapsed. More than half of the building burned down, the roof collapsed and parts of the outer wall collapsed two days later.
