Funding secured for Børsen rebuilding
The financing for the reconstruction of Børsen has been secured, announced Brian Mikkelsen, CEO of Dansk Erhverv, at a press conference. At the event, an update was also provided on the artworks rescued from the fire on April 16, 2024. Dansk Erhverv, which was housed in Børsen before the fire, will return upon restoration completion. While the exact construction start date is uncertain, Mikkelsen expressed optimism and a ‘good feeling’ about the building’s recovery. The fire occurred during renovations, including a new copper roof, resulting in over half of the Børsen being destroyed, including its iconic dragon spire. In addition to fire damage, Børsen also suffered from smoke and water damage. Mikkelsen had affirmed on the day of the fire that the building would be rebuilt ‘no matter what.’ The cause of the fire remains unknown.
