Laurent-Benoît Dewez (1731- 1812), Architect in the Age of Enlightenment Designing for Government, Church, and Court in the Southern Low Countries
Leuven, Leuven University Press, 2025 Hardcover, 304 pages, 28 x 22.5 cm. Illustrated. ENG text. ISBN 9789462704473.
Laurent-Benoît Dewez (1731-1812), court architect to Charles of Lorraine, was the most outstanding architect of his time in the Southern Low Countries. After studying in Italy and serving in the eminent office of Robert Adam in London, Dewez developed a personal, classical style that came to embody the ?Eglise Belgique? under the Austrian Habsburgs. He designed numerous castles, abbeys, and churches across Belgium, but time has not been kind to his legacy: of his 80 architectural projects, many have vanished. However, the Château de Seneffe, the abbey of Vlierbeek in Leuven, and the churches in Andenne, Floreffe, and Harelbeke still stand as testaments to his remarkable talent. This richly illustrated monograph presents, for the first time, a comprehensive collection and analysis of the complete works of Laurent-Benoît Dewez.

Laurent-Benoi?t Dewez (1731-1812) was als hofarchitect van de Oostenrijkse landvoogd Karel van Lotharingen, zonder twijfel de meest vooraanstaande architect uit onze regio. Meer bepaald stond zijn oeuvre in het teken van de creatie van een unitaire ?Eglise Belgique?. Vandaag is de rijke architecturale nalatenschap van Dewez nog steeds aanwezig in ons (Leuvens) straatbeeld. Toch lijkt slechts een selecte groep hem nog te kennen. Tijdens het jubileumjaar ter ere van het 900-jarig bestaan van de Abdij van Vlierbeek, brengen we hulde aan de ontwerper van de Kerk en het Nieuw Abtskwartier met de uitgave van een luxueuze monografie
