A fire has broken out at one of Copenhagen's oldest buildings.
Emergency crews were seen rushing to the Old Stock Exchange, with thick smoke billowing into the sky.
The fire engulfed the building's iconic spire, which collapsed into the roof.
No in juries were reported.
Images circulating on social media showed artwork being removed from the building.
The historic building, which is situated next to the Danish parliament and featured a spire shaped by the intertwined tails of four dragons, had been under renovation when the fire broke out.
It is now often used for gala dinners, conferences and events, but is not open to the public.
