Fire engulfed Copenhagen's historic Borsen, a 17th-century former stock exchange, on Tuesday. The iconic 54-meter spire collapsed during renovation. Built in 1619 by King Christian IV, it now houses the Danish Chamber of Commerce near the parliament. Black smoke billowed, prompting city center closures for firefighting. Cause of the fire remains unknown. The Danish Chamber of Commerce lamented the spectacle. Renovation was underway at the time of the blaze.
