A fire ripping through Denmark’s old stock exchange building has torn down the structure’s dragon-tail spire, a Copenhagen landmark.
The protected 400-year-old building caught fire Tuesday, and police have evacuated the adjacent properties, including those belonging to the Finance Ministry, shutting down part of the inner city. The parliament is also next to Borsen, as the building is called.
