Kroll, Lucien

(b Brussels, 17 March 1927). Belgian architect. He studied architecture at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de la Cambre in Brussels, qualifying in 1951. He produced his first works in the early 1950s in partnership with Charles Vandenhove. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s he built a number of small works, including houses, exhibitions and schools, as well as ecclesiastical projects, including churches and a series of buildings for religious orders. The best-known of these is the Centre Ecuménique de Dom Lambert Bauduin at the abbey at Chevetogne (1963–5). His first commissions outside Belgium were the Benedictine monastery, factory and administrative buildings at Butare in Rwanda, Africa (1962–70).
