!!!Kinsky, Hochadelsgeschlecht

Kinsky (originally Wchinsky), family of the higher nobility, 
originally from Bohemia. First mentioned in 1237, they were made 
counts in 1628, 1676, 1687 and imperial dukes in 1747. In 1784, they 
inherited Daun Palace, Freyung 4, in the first district of Vienna 
(built by J. L. v. Hildebrandt from 1713-1716), which remained in the 
family until 1987. Count Franz Ulrich  Kinsky, Count Wilhelm  Kinsky 
and Bertha von  Suttner were members of the Kinsky family.
