Fire destroys Copenhagen’s historic Old Stock Exchange
The red brick building, with its green copper roof and 56-metre spire in the shape of four intertwined dragon tails, is a major tourist attraction.
A fire has swept through one of Copenhagen’s oldest buildings, destroying about half of the 17th-century Old Stock Exchange and collapsing its famous dragon-tail spire, as passers-by rushed to help emergency services save priceless paintings and other valuables.
