King Frederik and Queen Mary Attend 400th Anniversary Dinner of the Børsen

King Frederik and Queen Mary attended a dinner celebrating the 400th anniversary of Børsen at Moltke’s Palace in Copenhagen. Since large parts of Børsen burned down earlier this year, it was not possible to hold the anniversary in the historic building. Therefore, the celebratory dinner was held at Moltke’s Palace.

Børsen, a 17th-century commodity bourse and later stock exchange, is located in the center of Copenhagen. Construction of the building began in 1620 and was largely completed in 1624, with the exception of the spire and details of the east gable.

Over 300 guests have been invited to the celebration, including representatives from the government, top officials, CEOs from the country’s largest companies, and some of the foundations supporting the restoration of Børsen. Queen Mary was dressed for the occasion in a floral mikado silk strapless gown by Lasse Spangenberg.
