The cause of the April 16 fire is still under investigation, but it is believed to have started on the roof.
As fire tore through Copenhagen’s Old Stock Exchange in mid-April, many people in the Danish capital rushed toward the flames and emerged carrying paintings, sculptures and other important items of Denmark’s cultural heritage.
Mr Engel-Schmidt said some items could not be saved, including a sculpture too heavy for rescuers to lift, and artworks painted directly on the building’s walls. Thanks to a carefully created “heritage plan” that listed the most important paintings and sculptures, Mr Mikkelsen knew exactly what to prioritise: a huge painting titled From Copenhagen Stock Exchange by Danish artist P.S. Kroyer.“That one was number one,” Mr Mikkelsen said of the painting, which he called a national icon by one of the country’s most famous painters.
