The Collinebourg Bourse was ordered built by [[Grand Duke of Yonderre]] [[Auguste II de Houicourt]] to strengthen the role of [[Collinebourg]] in [[Vandarch]]-[[Catholic Levantia]] trade and commerce. Established architect Hubert d'Erole (1589-1654) was charged with the construction of the Bourse. Construction began in 1628 and was largely finished in 1633, the spire being installed in 1634 and the façade completed in 1642. The building contained 40 trading offices at the ground floor and one large room at the upper floor. The Collinebourg Bourse narrowly escaped the [[Great Fire of Collinebourg]] in 1728 by the intentional demolition of a neighbouring house on the night of the 21st/22nd October, thus stopping the spread of the fire to the Bourse building itself. The Collinebourg Bourse briefly served as a refugee shelter in the immediate aftermath of the Great Fire by order of the [[Grand Duke of Yonderre]] [[Giles IV de Mortain]]. | The Collinebourg Bourse was ordered built by [[Grand Duke of Yonderre]] [[Auguste II de Houicourt]] to strengthen the role of [[Collinebourg]] in [[Vandarch]]-[[Catholic Levantia]] trade and commerce.

A ban on the trading of all livestock larger than swans on the premises of the Collinebourg Bourse was put into place by [[Collinebourg]]'s [[45 Men]] in 1736 when a stampede of cattle in the main trade hall killed three and injured several dozen people. The ban was only lifted again in 1808. The Collinebourg Bourse became to the [[Yonderian Stock Exchange]] when it was established in 1849 and remained so until the completion of the [[Collinebourg Stock House]] in 1966. Since then, the Collinebourg Bourse has been home to the [[Finance Ministry (Yonderre)|Yonderian Finance Ministry]] and a museum about the history of the Bourse itself. | A ban on the trading of all livestock larger than swans on the premises of the Collinebourg Bourse was put into place by [[Collinebourg]]'s [[45 Men]] in 1736 when a stampede of cattle in the main trade hall killed three and injured several dozen people.
