Stock Exchange - Copenhagen, Denmark

Børsen also known as Børsbygningen (the stock exchange building), is a 17th-century stock exchange in the center of Copenhagen. The historic building sits next to Christiansborg Palace, the seat of the Danish Parliament, on the island of Slotsholmen. Børsen, a popular tourist attraction, is most noted for its distinctive spire, shaped as the tails of four dragons twined together, reaching a height of 56 metres.

 

Built under the reign of Christian IV in 1619–1640, the building is considered a leading example of the Dutch Renaissance style in Denmark. It is a protected building for conservation purposes.[1]A walking and canal boat tour of Copenhagen, Denmark 29 & 30 August 2018.
