Banque Bruxelles Lambert

Bank Brussels Lambert was created in 1956 as the bank Banque Bruxelles Lambert, (now an office of ING Group). Banque Lambert had its origins in the banking house founded by the Lambert family, financiers in Belgium since the country's independence in 1830. After 1945, Banque Lambert rapidly developed its services and network, notably through the merger of a number of privately owned banks. This modernist structure was the only European structure conceived by the American architect Gordon Bunshaft making it one of the most important modernist architectural structures in Belgium.
