It’s been so heartbreaking to follow the news this morning! Børsen and its spire were my favorite Copenhagen landmark!

  You'll be pleased to know that in todays world of cnc machines and 3d printers, remaking old stuff like this has never been cheaper or easier. What might have taken stonemasons thousands of man years to make originally, can now be done by a few people and a cnc machine in a few months. It's usually possible to add modern insulation, damp proofing, wiring+plumbing, etc. during the rebuild too, so the new building ends up meaningfully better than the original, and probably with a longer lifespan and lower maintenance. The process still isn't cheap - and will cost a lot more than just a regular building of the same size - but it will be far far cheaper than using traditional techniques for a rebuild. Whats most important is to get 3d models and photos of the originals before it is destroyed...

      Not quite what you asked for but these links document the process of creating a new monastery using modern day techniques AND with all the intricate details you expect on such a building. https://carmelitegothic.com/#carmelite-monks-of-wyoming-gothic https://carmelitegothic.com/#carmelite-monks-of-wyoming-goth... https://hackaday.com/2023/01/13/a-medieval-gothic-monastery-built-using-cad-cam/ https://hackaday.com/2023/01/13/a-medieval-gothic-monastery-...
