The CEO of Danish Business, Brian Mikkelsen, helps carry out historical paintings from the burning building, as the Stock Exchange burns in Copenhagen on Tuesday, April 16, 2024. Tuesday morning, a fire was reported in the historic building in Copenhagen, which was under renovation. It was expected that the renovation would be completed in the fall of 2024 in connection with the celebration of the Stock Exchange's 400-year anniversary. The building was erected in the 1620s as a commercial building by King Christian IV. Today, the building is owned by Danish Business, and has served as an office building.
