Devastating fire engulfs Copenhagen's Borsen, a symbol of Danish heritage, as witnesses recount the horror of witnessing the historic building's destruction.
A huge fire on Tuesday devastated Copenhagen’s 17th century former stock exchange toppling the historic building’s landmark spire in front of horrified witnesses. The spire snapped and crashed down onto the street below. Dramatic photographs showed huge plumes of black smoke emerging from the building.
“Terrifying images from Borsen this morning. 400 years of Danish cultural heritage going up in flames,” Culture Minister Jakob Engel-Schmidt wrote in a post to X, the former Twitter.The images recalled the disaster at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, almost five years ago to the day when its spire was also destroyed by a fire.
