Fire Destroys historic Copenhagen building

The Copenhagen Stock Exchange, which is over 400 years old (and is referred to by Dr. Niall Ferugson in 'The Ascent of Money'). Such a beautiful city (with an Aussie as queen) and it's always a huge loss when something like this happens. One person interviewed said "this is our Notre Dame". I hope they were able to remove the precious objects d'art.

This is even more stark.

Copenhagen is a mixture of old and modern and the Danes are an excellent race. This is an eye-popping building; the opera house. We spent 3 weeks in Denmark.
