Firefighters are still at the scene two days after a blaze destroyed half of Copenhagen’s Old Stock Exchange, which dates from 1615.
The mayor of Copenhagen has been in touch with her Paris counterpart to see what can be learned from the reconstruction of the Notre Dame cathedral in the French capital, after a fire devastated the Danish city’s 400-year-old stock exchange building.
Sophie Haestorp Andersen, the Danish capital’s mayor, told The Associated Press that she had been in touch with Paris mayor Anne Hildago to discuss how the French handled the reconstruction of the Notre Dame cathedral after an April 2019 blaze ravaged the 800-year-old landmark.Ms Hildago gave “some good inputs on how to move quickly, how Paris handled donations and the restoration which must be done fast,” Ms Haestorp Andersen said.
Work continued on Thursday to stabilise the building, with the Greater Copenhagen Fire Department saying they “expect to be present at the scene of the fire for at least another day”.
