Emil Jørgensen (architect)

Emil Gustav Vilhelm Jørgensen (3 September 1858 - 27 May 1942) was a Danish architect, most notable for his work in the National Romantic style such as the Church of the Deaf (De Døves Kirke) in Copenhagen.

He was the son of Andreas Carl Gustav Jørgensen (1831–80) and his wife Vilhelmine Wille (1836–1909).

He graduated from the Technical University of Denmark and was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts' Architecture School (Kunstakademiets Arkitektskole) in 1876.

He was later associated with the Copenhagen Town Hall and Bispebjerg Hospital projects as a close assistant of architect Martin Nyrop.

Jørgensen was created a Knight in the Order of the Dannebrog and was awarded Medal of Honour.
