Domien de Waghemakere, or Dominikus (ca.

1460 – 1542), was a Flemish architect and an important exponent of Brabantine Gothic.

He began his career in 1494, alongside his father, in the construction of the church of Lier, the Church of Saint Gummarus [fr].

Between 1521 and 1530 he completed the tower of the Antwerp Cathedral with a Gothic-flamboyant spire.

[1] Together with the other great Flemish architect Rombout Keldermans he built the Maison du Roi [fr] on the Grand-Place in Brussels between 1514 and 1523; in 1515 he built the Old Stock Exchange of Antwerp [nl];[2] he also probably made the plans for St. Paul's Church in Antwerp;[3][4] between 1517 and 1533 he contributed to the Ghent City Hall; around 1520, together with Keldermans, he collaborated in the restructuring of the Fortress of Antwerp, Het Steen, and in 1525 at the Castle of the Dukes of Brabant in Turnhout.
