Bernard de Wilde (1691 – 1772)[1] was a Southern Netherlandish architect.[2]

Former Pakhuis in Ghent, designed by de Wilde

He carried out most of his work in Ghent.[3] Together with David t'Kindt, he is the most important representative of Ghent Rococo. His works are marked by a strong French influence.[3][4]

Some of his works include:

Pakhuis on the Korenmarkt (Louis XIV style)
Lakenmetershuis on the Vrijdagmarkt
College building of the Augustinians, now Academy of Fine Arts
Hotel Schamp (1721) (presumably after his design)
