Vilhelm Theodor Walther

Vilhelm Theodor Walther (13 November 1819 – 28 August 1892) was a Danish architect and Royal Building Inspector for Jutland.

He was twice awarded the Academy's Neuhausen Prize (Neuhausenske Præmie) for excellence in architecture and in 1885, he received the Cross of Honor of the Order of the Dannebrog.

In parallel with his studies, Walther supervised the construction of buildings in Norway, Hamburg and Altona, as well as designing various manor houses and the headquarters of the Silkeborg Paper Mill.

There he accomplished a significant amount of work, restoring the interiors of the Church of Our Lady (1866) and the cathedral (1871).

[2] Walther was not particularly original but he was a competent, tasteful architect whose works displayed respect and seriousness.
