   Denmark's historic old stock exchange building in the centre of Copenhagen   
   has been engulfed by fire.   
      
   The 17th Century Børsen is one of the city's oldest buildings and   
   onlookers gasped as its iconic dragon spire tumbled into the street below.   
      
   Culture minister Jakob Engel-Schmidt said 400 years of Danish cultural   
   heritage had gone up in flames.   
      
   Members of the public rushed to rescue historic paintings and it took   
   hours before the fire was under control.   
      
   The building, dating back to 1625, is a stone's throw from Denmark's   
   parliament, the Folketing, housed in the old royal palace of   
   Christiansborg castle. Danish media said the nearby square was being   
   evacuated and the main entrance to Christiansborg was closed because of   
   smoke.   
      
   The old stock exchange was being renovated and had been shrouded in   
   scaffolding and protective plastic covering.   
      
   It currently houses the Danish chamber of commerce, which described the   
   scenes on Tuesday morning as a terrible sight. Its director, Brian   
   Mikkelsen, said as much as half of the old stock exchange had burned down   
   but vowed that it would be rebuilt "no matter what".
