    This is now Copenhagen's "Notre Dame"-moment with a historic building almost 400 year old and an absolute icon of the city, completely engulfed in flames. The famous spire has now collapsed and people are trying to save historic paintings from the building.

        Yeah, I'm from Canada, so it might just be for IPs outside Denmark, or perhaps Europe? This is what I see when I try to view the article: https://i.imgur.com/WZtvyn6.png

    It's always sad to see beautiful, old and historical buildings get destroyed by fires. I live in the completely opposite part of Denmark, but I love walking about the old parts of Copenhagen....

    It's always sad to see beautiful, old and historical buildings get destroyed by fires. I live in the completely opposite part of Denmark, but I love walking about the old parts of Copenhagen. Sadly, these kinds of buildings do not get built anymore - they're too expensive. But seeing beautiful brickwork, spires, courtyards and copper roofs is just great.
