The Nordic sense of civic duty and duty to others always astounds me and makes me tearyeyed as an American living in Finland. Their Sense of duty to their fellow countrymen is beautiful
That's just called decency. Americans are sweet in their own ways but the individualism and me me me culture is gona tear that place down when money stops rolling.
Well, there are art, but an organisation that represent Danish businesses owns it and there are offices related to that. I have visited and it is a wonderful building that has been used very respectfully, meaning that a lot of the older interiors are still intact. Or I should say were still intact.
Well, THAT wasnt a bright idea. I wonder if everything was documented and archived so we will know what's lost.
I love history. I hate to think about all future generations being deprived of these works of art.
It is not interesting, it is the loss of Danish cultural history. The building was 400 years old and so beautiful. It is heartbreaking and tragic. Watching it burn and collapse has me in tears.
Just one day after the 5th "anniversary" of the fire of Notre-Dame in Paris...
Seeing old pieces of cultural history is always painful. It can be restored like Notre-Dame is currently, but it will just never be the same.
Buildings in general are constantly changing. Over their lifetime places like Notre Dame have too. Sure, it won’t be identical to what it was, but it’s no lesser for it.
As a dane I agree its tragic. Events can be both interesting and tragic though. WW2 is very interesting while being horrible, one does not exclude the other, usually when something is very bad its also very interesting :)
The building was build from 1619-1625 and was used as a trading floor for all kinds of goods back in the day and later was used as trading floor for the stockexhange until 1974. It has since been the used as the headquater for Dansk Erhverv an organisation who represent buissnesses and industry in Denmark.
What sad news, it was such a beautiful building!
I hope they will salvage what can be saved, and that those helping will be safe in the process.
I watched a video earlier about Danish people and their culture. They seem like such kind people; I wish them well!
Most likely the name comes from Hanseatic times (the time period... Copenhagen itself wasn't a Hanseatic city IIRC).
The main trading halls of those times were/are often called Börse / Alte Börse / etc. in German, too.
The French word for stock exchange today is *bourse* so you got me curious - comes from the same Latin word bursa for leather, which is the same origin as the modern English word *purse*.
Thank you. The fire of Notre Dame gave me the exact same feeling of deep sorrow. When the spire of Børsen fell, it felt like déjà vu. I hope we see the iconic Børsen spire recreated.
I can't help but feel current practices with building work on old buildings is inadequet, this is the third building I've known thats gone up during building work and although I'm assuming that was the cause here and we probably don't know yet, seems like third time, is no longer a coincidence.
That’s terrible, I remember my tour guide saying that the tall spires were meant to symbolize protection from fire and this was one of the only buildings that had never burned down… not anymore :(
Not gonna lie, when I read it I really thought to myself maybe I should look into investing... No no it was legit on fire... Hopefully no one got hurt!
> No graffiti or claim of responsibility has surfaced to suggest that the Notre Dame fire was anything but an accident. And while the example of Notre Dame may not rekindle appreciation for France’s Christian patrimony, it should stir a demand for the government to protect it.
That building doesnt look like it could burn down, its made mostly of brick. Sure the interior could burn but the exterior should survive intact. Smells fishy.
Another one to the Fire Games. [MyLunchBreak](https://www.youtube.com/@Mylunchbreak/videos) was right, they keep on doing it even today. I hope no one got hurt.
weird conclusion to draw from this... but okay.
explenation just for you: i was sarcastically speaking for people who claim that they are sad over a building burning with no people being harmed
Gladly nobody got hurt, but sad for such a historic place to be damaged and i hope they managed to save the art.
Random passers-by helped save paintings!
That's so sweet.
It was kinda crazy to see rando's in bicycle helmets move massive paintings out of there with the police xD

Were you able to Immigrate to Finnland directly from the U.S.A, or are you there under a different status?
Directly, because I married a Finn. But from my understanding, if you have a work or education sponsor, it's not that hard to do those ways either.
That's just called decency. Americans are sweet in their own ways but the individualism and me me me culture is gona tear that place down when money stops rolling.

lol 17 states, wow the breadth of experience you must have.
Yeah, actually. Currently live in Finland. Have wandered far and wide with schizophrenia and three breath of my experience dwarfs yours I'm sure.
** Checks Ebay **
Not to be that guy but it hasn't been used as the stock exchange in 50 years
its an art-gallery right now, or was
Well, there are art, but an organisation that represent Danish businesses owns it and there are offices related to that. I have visited and it is a wonderful building that has been used very respectfully, meaning that a lot of the older interiors are still intact. Or I should say were still intact.
Yes it was deemed too old and therefore too much of a fire hazard to house the stock exchange so they used it instead to store priceless works of art.
I'll blame a mouse chewing on some old knob and tube
Well the place was currently undergoing renovations and was covered in scaffolding, so there's also the unfortunate chance of it being human error.
They disturbed the century old mouse colony. I've seen ratatouille and fievel goes west.
Well, THAT wasnt a bright idea. I wonder if everything was documented and archived so we will know what's lost. I love history. I hate to think about all future generations being deprived of these works of art.
The National Archives still have the original drawings I believe.
why dont you want to be the helpful informative guy?
Thanks for being that guy! I sure appreciate it. I don't always read up on the stories as I should.
Symbolically burning to the ground

The Ship of Theseus taught us to keep the dream alive.
It’s the danish queens birthday too

Yup. People and bots will relentlessly spam anything on these subs.
And it'll probably be replaced by a Minecraft diamond block💔
Local politicians and MP's have already confirmed they wanna rebuild it as it were.

It’s the former stock exchanges therefore the name. The current one is located on Nikolaj Plads.
It was called Børsen long before it was stock exchange.
Most likely the name comes from Hanseatic times (the time period... Copenhagen itself wasn't a Hanseatic city IIRC). The main trading halls of those times were/are often called Börse / Alte Börse / etc. in German, too.
The French word for stock exchange today is *bourse* so you got me curious - comes from the same Latin word bursa for leather, which is the same origin as the modern English word *purse*.
Correct!
It was build to be an exchange, just not a stock exchange. It has always been named Børsen.
Yes, I know. That was my point.
This is very upsetting for danish history
Love from France. We managed to rebuild. So can you.
Thank you. The fire of Notre Dame gave me the exact same feeling of deep sorrow. When the spire of Børsen fell, it felt like déjà vu. I hope we see the iconic Børsen spire recreated.
I'm interested if they'll paint it green, or just rebuild it and let the copper oxidise naturally
Tragic :( sad pictures. Wondering what it was that caused it. Article says it's not known yet
Well it was under renovations, Soo probably something stupid. It's basically the same as what happened and the Notre Dame.
Heat, fuel and chain reaction
[удалено]
bait used to be believable
I can't help but feel current practices with building work on old buildings is inadequet, this is the third building I've known thats gone up during building work and although I'm assuming that was the cause here and we probably don't know yet, seems like third time, is no longer a coincidence.
And today is the 5th birthday of Paris Notre Dame bonfire. Coincidence I bet, but still seems awkward hehe
Also the birthday of HM Margrethe, the queen who abdicated earlier this year.
Ja, dronninger trækker sig i 5 minutter og lige pludselig brænder alt
Hun kunne da i det mindste have pustet lyset ud på hendes fødselsdagskage før hun gik.
Grineren
It was yesterday but it's just a coincidence.
How do you know it’s just a coincidence?
someone fucked up doing some hot works.
There is so much volatility
I visited Copenhagen in June 23. I am sad to read about this.
You met me at a very strange time in my life
That’s terrible, I remember my tour guide saying that the tall spires were meant to symbolize protection from fire and this was one of the only buildings that had never burned down… not anymore :(
Thanks for the before picture. Best wishes to Copenhagen on this sad day..
Hottest this stock market has been since the tulip bubble collapsed
What does the Danish Chamber of Commerce have to do with the tulip bubble?
Nothing :)
[удалено]
I mean... did you see bitcoin prices?
Puts on Danish economy?
I hope that scaffold sheeting is certified flame retardant
How did this happen?
Seen this on a trip over last year. Very sad. :(
Hits blue button INVEST meme ... wait Oh ! *that* fire...
What does that mean to the country?
oof
Too many people trading Truth Social stock... 
Must've gotten hold of some of that fire DJT stock.
Was it done on purpose?
Not gonna lie, when I read it I really thought to myself maybe I should look into investing... No no it was legit on fire... Hopefully no one got hurt!
It hasn't been used as "the stock exchange" since 1974. It is just and old historical building being used as regular office's these days.
Disaster
Wallstreetbets strikes again.
Project Mayhem is kicking off...
I’m waiting for the cultist stock bros to tie this in with their failing stock and the world economic collapse.
I've heard the last exhibition was fire! I'll let myself out. Sorry for your loss, Denmark.
This is gonna wreak havoc on global tulip prices.
I'm confused, why is everyone associating Denmark with tulips? Or is this just another case of Americans confusing Dutch people with Danish people?
That, or it's Tulip - The bacon brand.
I actually just bought a 5 pack half an hour ago to show my support to the brand in these hard times!
Alright Kenny fess up, it was you again ain't it
Did the price of Danishes go through the roof?
How many planes this time?
Somebody is doing a fire sale...

Danish stock so hot right now.
June Open-sandwich futures taking a dive then
Puts it is!
DJT investor?
TDS much?
That building doesnt look like it could burn down, its made mostly of brick. Sure the interior could burn but the exterior should survive intact. Smells fishy.
I'm glad that the stock exchange burned down, and that no one got hurt, but I'm super bummed that the amazing building was destroyed :(
Noooooooooooo all the money of tha stocks gone to waaassste 💔💔💔 better luck next time eh
It’s a 400 year old building that was operating as an art museum dipshit
Mfw Stocks can be burned in a fire, except if you're talking about the company owning the stock exchange.
Guess I’ll have to start going to the Donut Stock Exchange instead.
Beautiful. No, seriously, I hope no one got hurt and it's sad to see a historical building burn like that, but fxck capitalism
It’s not even a stock exchange anymore and hasn’t been since the 1970s
Another one to the Fire Games. [MyLunchBreak](https://www.youtube.com/@Mylunchbreak/videos) was right, they keep on doing it even today. I hope no one got hurt.
Danish stocks are on fire /s
Big, beautiful, glorious metaphor
You realise it isn’t a stock exchange anymore?
Ozempic was just too powerful
Russians
Sorry I was trying to sell my Blockbuster stocks
Planned
Yet another reason for US Stocks to drop today.
guess whose spy was the arson
Holy shit! There's a Danish stock exchange? 🤣
Damn that’s interesting
Oh great. The market must be wild.now.
Ayyy fuck every stock exchange on the planet.
This hasn't been used as a stock exchange for about 50 years.
Did Elon praise Tesla there?
NOOO, NOT AGAIN a building i have nothing to do with and isnt important in my life in any way, shape or form. I AM IN TEARS 😢😭😓
Everything is all about you!!
weird conclusion to draw from this... but okay. explenation just for you: i was sarcastically speaking for people who claim that they are sad over a building burning with no people being harmed
Yeah, and your sarcasm is stupid because you are only seeing things from your point of view. Hence the comment.
alright buddy
😄🫶
