Børsen, Renaissance stock exchange building in Slotsholmen, Denmark
The 127-meter-long structure features a copper roof and a central spire formed by four intertwined dragon tails reaching 56 meters in height.
Built in 1640 under King Christian IV's reign, the building served as Copenhagen's primary trading center with direct ship access on three sides.
The Northern Renaissance architecture includes curved gables, sandstone-framed windows, and three crowns atop the spire representing Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
The Danish Chamber of Commerce currently owns the building and uses the space for conferences, seminars, and various business events.
The protective dragon spire has guarded the building from multiple fires affecting neighboring structures throughout its 400-year existence.
