Rebuilding Børsen
The Reconstruction of Børsen

Architecture
Børsen has had a changeable existence — from a motley bazaar to a financial centre with some of the city’s finest meeting rooms and offices. The building has been rebuilt and restored many times.

The King's Vision for Børsen
Christian IV was an enterprising king, and was very interested in the 17th century’s new economic ideas about growth and wealth through international trade. Copenhagen therefore needed to have a stock exchange, where buyers and sellers could meet for mutual profit and gain.

Fire and reconstruction
At 7.36 am on 16 April 2024 the alarm centre received a report of a fire at Børsen. For 400 years fire in the old stock exchange building had been avoided. The city has burned down around Børsen twice.
