When Børsen, Copenhagen's historical former stock exchange, caught fire in 2024, locals looked in despair as one of the city's oldest and most revered structures – dating from the 17th century – went up in flames, including its instantly recognisable dragon-shaped spire. Two years on, and Dansk Erhverv, the Danish Chamber of Commerce, is now offering a rare view into the construction site, where teams are hard at work repairing the much-loved city monument. A new visitor centre has just opened at the Børsen site, designed by local architecture studio JAC.
