Biography
Biography
Pierre Cuypers was one of his students. He led the restoration works of the Cathedral of Our Lady in Antwerp and designed its choir stalls. He is considered a patron of Belgium's Gothic Revival architecture. The Durletstraat (Durlet street) in his native city is named in honor of him. Durlet was married to Jeanne Steveniers (1826–1900). His son Frans (1855–1931) was also an architect, and his grandson Emmanuel became a well-known pianist and composer. • Illustration — Het Steen, Antwerp • Illustration — Choir, Cathedral of Our Lady (Antwerp) • Illustration — Choir, Cathedral of Our Lady (Antwerp)
