The House of Nostitz (Czech : Nostic) is an old and influential Silesian aristocratic family, whose members occupied many important positions within Holy Roman Empire and later in Austria, Bohemia, Germany and Russia.
The family was named after Nostitz in Saxony, with its history dating back to 1280 in Oberlausitz, today's Germany. They reigned over the Imperial County of Rieneck from 1673 when it was purchased by Count Johann Hartwig of Nostitz-Rieneck (1610–1683) until 1803 when they sold it to the Princes of Colloredo-Mansfeld. Apart from Nostitz-Rieneck several other branches of the family existed: Nostitz-Unwürde, Nostitz-Jänkendorf, Nostitz-Wallwitz, Nostitz-Drzewiecky, Nostitz-Rokitnitz and Nostitz-Ransen which lived and spread through Prussia, Austria, Bohemia, Poland, Lithuania and Russia.
