In a period before Belgium existed, Laurent-Benoît Dewez (1731-1812) was undoubtedly the most prominent architect in our region. As court architect to the Austrian governor Charles of Lorraine, he was known for his contributions to neoclassical architecture, a style popular during the late 18th century. More specifically, his oeuvre was dominated by the creation of a unitary ‘Eglise Belgique’.
Today, Dewez's vast oeuvre is still present in our (Leuven) streetscape. Yet only a select few still seem to know him....Laurent-Benoît Dewez: forgotten top architect in the service of Court, Elite and Church
