The old stock exchange Børsen in Copenhagen is bursting with details. This shot is from above the main entrance and tells about its foundation in 1624 by King Christian IV. The most characteristic feature of it is the dragon spire, unlike any other spire in Copenhagen. Situated right next to Parliament in Christiansborg Palace it was still in use as a stock exchange until 1974. It's now owned by the Danish Chamber of Commerce and is used as a place for meetings and exhibitions.
Very elaborated! I like it:)

ReplyDeleteWithout consulting the facts, then I recall from school that this is the oldest building made specifically to act as a stock exchange. He was ahead of his time, good old Christian IV.
