Maximilian Gosseau de Henef (also spelled Coseaux and de Heneff [1]) was an Austrian architect [2] of Alsatian descent. [3]
He designed Star fort Tvrđa in Osijek ( German: Esseg), in today's Croatia. Gosseau took over planning of the fort when construction was already underway. Gosseau had to tackle quite a few problems. He owed his renown to their solution, which distinguished the Tvrđa as a specific ensemble from other fortifications of the time. [2]
Gosseau de Henef died in 1741 and was buried in a village Nuštar in eastern Croatia, where he owned lands since 1717. [3]
