2. This is really sad. I am sorry that this has happened. Such a beautiful building. Hoped to see it some day.

3. There was a firefighter in there [way too close for comfort](https://avisendanmark.dk/danmark/ydermur-er-vaeltet-i-den-udbraendte-del-af-boersen?rss). I hope everybody is safe.

4. Time ro
   Rebuild it

5. Did Russia do this ? How come the building suddenly was on fire ?

6. I guess we should stop renovating old prestigious buildings everytime we do they catch on fire and are destroyed, smh.

7. It’s so sad. I loved the spire and thought it was the most beautiful building in Copenhagen. I hope they rebuild it like Notre Dame.

8. Heartbreaking to see 🙁

9. They should just rebuild it using roughly the same materials and techniques.

   There’s no fundamental reason why old architecture can’t be built today. The French did it just fine with Notre Dame.

10. Someone will build a nice block of concrete and glas there.

11. I think we need stricter standards for contractors involved in the renovation of historical buildings.

12. Can you guys tell me what actually happened there or what caused all of that destruction?

13. So sad, the whole building is basically gone… this is going to take a long time to get it back.

14. Sad to see

15. Dismantling that scaffolding is going to cost a few bob

16. This is sad, you could have seen it from everywhere
