Emil Vett

Emil Vett (7 November 1843 – 18 February 1911) was a Danish businessman who was a co-founder of Magasin du Nord.

Vatt was born on 7 November 1843 in Rødby on Lolland, the son of medical doctor Julius Theodor Emil Vett (1808–1869) and Karen Petrine Bjørn (1813–1881).

Vett married Caroline Adolphine Langballe (15 September 1849 – 8 February 1935), a daughter of merchant Carl L. (1805–1885) and Hansine Palline Pallesen (1814–1868), on 27 April 1870.

Vett was made a Knight in the Order of the Dannebrog in 1896 and was awarded the Cross of Honour in 1908 and the Medal of Merit in Gold in 1909.

The building was designed by Edmund Monberg and was used as a summer residence for employees at Magasin du Nord.
