A spire collapsed on a 17th century Danish building as flames gripped the old stock exchange in Copenhagen just over five years since the inferno that partially destroyed Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.
The Børsen, built in 1625 and located in the center of the Danish capital, had been undergoing renovation work just as Notre Dame had back in 2019 when it was almost destroyed by a suspicious fire.
“Culture minister Jakob Engel-Schmidt said 400 years of Danish cultural heritage had gone up in flames,” reports the BBC.
Although there have been no reports of foul play, similar claims were made about Notre Dame, which were met with skepticism by some.
“This is our Notre Dame,” local craftsman Henrik Grage told Danish TV.
Luckily, there was no one inside the building and people attempted to rush back in to save historic paintings.
The Dutch Renaissance-style building was formerly used to house the Danish stock exchange, but now serves as headquarters for the Danish Chamber of Commerce.
“We are met by a terrible sight. The Bourse is on fire,” the Chamber of Commerce wrote on X.
