Old
Stock Exchange - Burnt Down
One of Copenhagen’s most historic and iconic
buildings and architectural pearls - as well as
400 years of Danish cultural
heritage - The 17th-century Old Stock
Exchange - was raged by a devastating
fire on Tuesday April 16 - 2024.
Thousands of horrified and emotional Copenhageners
burst into tears, when they witnessed their national
treasure and landmark was surrounded by flames
and black smoke - and then experienced the
mythical dragon spire collapsed during
a refurbishment and facelift of The Old Stock
Exchange for its 400 year jubilee later in 2024.
Fortunately, none of the workers - firefighters
- emergency workforce or other persons were injured
during the extinguishing work, and many valuable
paintings and artefact
was saved before most of this imposing Renaissance-style
property burnt down to the ground.
We
want to commemorate this magnificent
edifice by keeping this special page and presentation
about the former and irreplaceable Old
Stock Exchange, which tells a brief history
of this legendary building and a great historical
sight in Copenhagen.
