Børsen

The dragon spire of Børsen, Copenhagen's old stock exchange, photographed in 2021: four dragons' tails twisted into a single point above a copper tower. King Christian IV ordered the building in the Dutch Renaissance style, and it dates to 1625, a merchants' hall on the harbor where cargoes and commodities changed hands. This is a record of something lost. On April 16, 2024, during renovation work, fire swept through the building and brought down this spire. Its owner, the Danish Chamber of Commerce, pledged to rebuild, and reconstruction began that September, with completion expected around 2029.
