Louis de la Censerie
Louis (Joseph Jean Baptiste) de la Censerie (* 1838 in Bruges ; † 1909 ibid) was a Belgian architect who worked in the second half of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century.
During his lifetime he enjoyed considerable fame, which he mainly benefited from his contribution to the restoration of a medieval Bruges in the last quarter of the 19th century, which he did through his restorations, but also through his new buildings and then what he did towards the end entrusted his career to two important projects, namely the church of Saints-Pierre-et-Paul in Ostend in neo-Gothic style and in particular the monumental Antwerp-Centraal train station .
De la Censerie's work was widely appreciated. However, interest has regained interest in his work since the 1970s, and he is now seen as one of the engines behind the revival of Flemish and Belgian architecture in the 19th century.
