EMMAUSKIRKEN - 1876
Diakonissestiftelsens Kirke

Arkitekt: Hans J. Holm

Diakonissestiftelsen oprettedes i 1863 og fik i 1875 selvstændige bygninger ved Peter Bangsvej. Emmauskirken betjener i dag de mange institu-tioner, som nu huses i stiftelsens bygninger, f.eks. et center for genoptræning af ældre, sygepleje-skolen, Kirkefaglig Videreuddannelse og Diakonissestiftelsens hospice.

Kirken er bygget som en tværfløj til Stiftelsens lange moderhus. Den er opført i rød murstensgotik med kamtakgavle, skifertage og kobberklædt tagrytter. Kirkerummet dækkes af et trekløverformet hvælv af træ med bemalede dekorationer.
Altertavlen, ‘Vandringen til Emmaus’ er malet af Anton Dorph i 1878. Den oprindelige barokprædikestol blev overført fra Frederiksberg Slot på foranledning af dronning Louise, men vendte i 1932 tilbage til sit hjemsted, medens der i Emmauskirken opsattes en kopi. I den nedre del af kirken er der i 1999 indrettet et andagtsområde af arkitekterne Holger og Lars Jensen med en vævning af Berit Hjelholt, ‘Håbets opstandelse’, som udsmykning.

EMMAUS CHURCH - 1876
The Church of the Deaconess Community

Architect: Hans J Holm

The Deaconess Community in Denmark was founded in 1863 and in 1875 it had its own independant buildings at Peter Bangsvej. Today the Emmaus Church serves the many institutions that nowaday is roomed in the buildings of the Community i.e. a center for the rehabilitation of senior citizens, The Nursing School, The School of Higher Clergical Education and the Hospice of the Deaconess Community.

The Church is build as a diagonal building wing to the long mainbuilding. The Church is build in Gothic style with red Tile Bricks and a Slate Roof with a copper covered Spire. The Church Room is covered by a Cloverleaf shaped Vault of decorated wood. The Altartafel, 'The Walk to Emmaus' is painted by Anton Dorph in 1878. On the request of the late Queen Louise the original Pulpit in baroque style was tranferred from the Frederiksberg Castle to the Emmaus Church, but in 1932 it was returned to the original place, while a replica of the original Pulpit instead was placed in the Emmaus Church. In the lower part of the Church a Prayer Area was established in 1999 by the architects Holger and Lars Jensen and decorated with an artwork of a woven textile by Berit Hjelholt, 'The resurrection of Hope'.
