Flames at the historic Stock Exchange in Copenhagen have destroyed key parts of the iconic building. The fire is actually under control, but the fire department is still on duty.
It is still unclear how much the damage really is. The head of the Danish Chamber of Commerce, Brian Mikkelsen, reiterated that the building should definitely be rebuilt. Several works of art were rescued from the burning building. Among other things, heavy sculptures and statues are still being recovered. The old Stock Exchange is now home to the Danish Chamber of Commerce, which also owns the building, which houses a large art collection. Including the famous painting "From the Copenhagen Stock Exchange" by the painter PS Kryer. The building has not been used as a stock exchange in the true sense for a long time. It was said that it could be a long time before the extent of the damage could be quantified.
