The Pipenpoy family (/pɪpɒ̃pwə/), was an old and influential patrician family of Brussels which exercised public functions in the capital of the Duchy of Brabant until the end of the Ancien Régime.

He occupied a steen, or fortified house, called the Cantersteen,[3] the "steen of the cantor",[4] located at the corner of the current rue de la Madeleine and rue de l'Empereur.
