The historic building, which is situated next to the Danish parliament and featured a spire shaped by the intertwined tails of four dragons, had been under renovation when the fire broke out.<\/p>\n

It was often used for gala dinners, conferences and events, but was not open to the public.<\/p>\n

Denmark’s Minister for Culture Jakob Engel-Schmidt tweeted about the “terrible pictures” from the fire at the building, also known as Borsen (Danish for “the Exchange”), and said 400 years of Danish cultural heritage had gone up in flames.<\/p>\n

“We are met by a terrible sight. The Borsen is on fire,” the Chamber of Commerce wrote on X.<\/p>\n

Copenhagen police asked people to avoid driving in the inner part of the city.<\/p>\n
