About Børsen
The Old Stock Exchange, built in 1625, is one of Copenhagen's oldest buildings and features a distinctive 56-meter spire formed by four intertwined dragon tails. The Dutch Renaissance building served as the stock exchange until the 1970s and now houses the Danish Chamber of Commerce. While not open to the public, its exterior and waterfront location make it a striking landmark.
Insider Tips
View it from the Christiansborg Palace side of the canal where you can frame the dragon spire with the tower of Christiansborg for a perfect Copenhagen architectural contrast shot.
