On 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 autumn of 2024 in connection with the celebration of Boersen's 400th anniversary. The building was erected in the 1620s as a commercial building by King Christian IV. Today, the building is owned by Dansk Erhverv, and has served as an office building.
