The historic building, with a spire shaped like the tails🐎 of four intertwined dragons, was undergoing renovation when the fire ignited.

The Dutch Renaissan🥂ce-style building no longer accommodates the Danish stock exchange; instead, it functions as the headquarters for the Danish Chamber of Commerce.

"We are met꧂ by a terrible sight. The Bourse is on fire," stated theꦛ Chamber of Commerce.

ღCopenhagen police advise🎃d residents to refrain from driving in the inner part of the city.
