50,000 visitors have seen exhibition on Børsen's reconstruction

A visitor center established at the site of the historic Copenhagen Stock Exchange, known as Børsen, has attracted 50,000 visitors since opening its doors on February 26, 2026. The building, which suffered a devastating fire on April 16, 2024, is currently undergoing a meticulous reconstruction.

It is particularly popular that one can look out over the construction site through panoramic windows, where the reconstruction of Børsen is unfolding.

Dansk Erhverv, the owner of Børsen, has created an exhibition space that allows the public to witness the restoration process. "It is particularly popular that one can look out over the construction site through panoramic windows, where the reconstruction of Børsen is unfolding," said Morten Langager, CEO of Dansk Erhverv.

The exhibition delves into the history of the fire, the craftsmanship involved, and the building's architecture. It features a range of artifacts, including newly carved sandstone figures, 400-year-old lead balls, and charred pine beams salvaged from the fire. The display is designed to evolve as the restoration progresses.

But also the history of the fire, craftsmanship, architecture, the many objects, and Børsen's history in general is something that engages visitors.

Langager described the ongoing work as "a huge and impressive effort by craftsmen and advisors." Børsen, one of Copenhagen's oldest buildings, was originally constructed between 1619 and 1623 under the initiative of King Christian IV. The reconstruction is currently on schedule for completion in 2029. The visitor center is free to access and open on weekdays and weekends.
