Emergency services work as fire rages at the Old Stock Exchange, Boersen, in Copenhagen, Denmark, April 16, 2024. /Reuters
A major fire broke out on Tuesday morning at the historic Old Stock Exchange, one of the Copenhagen's most iconic buildings.
The building's central spire collapsed at around 8.30 a.m. due to the fire. There were no reports of injuries.
Live video from local media showed people carrying large paintings away from the building to save them from the flames.
The historic building, with a spire shaped like the tails of four dragons intertwined, had been undergoing renovations when the fire broke out.
The Dutch Renaissance-style building no longer houses the Danish stock exchange, but serves as the headquarters of the Danish Chamber of Commerce.
It's not immediately clear what caused the fire.
