Hans Roth (July 26, 1934 – August 16, 1999) was a Swiss architect known for his extensive restoration work on the Jesuit mission churches in the Chiquitos region of Bolivia.[1][2]

Hans Roth was born in Zürich, Switzerland[3] in 1934. He pursued his studies in architecture.[4]

In 1972, Roth embarked on what was initially a six-month project to restore the Jesuit mission churches in Chiquitos. This project ultimately spanned nearly three decades, ending with his death in 1999.[1][5]
