Hoyos family

The House of Hoyos is a prominent Austrian noble family of an ancient Castilian origin, whose members held significant political positions during the Austro-Hungarian and the German Empire.

It derives its name from El Hoyo de Pinares in Ávila, Castile and León, and can be traced back to the 9th century.

This branch rose to prominence in Austria and in Hungary as Hungarian magnates over the centuries.

Members of the elder line of the family were elevated to the rank of Imperial counts in 1682 and survived until today.
