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. It died in 1832 with Catherine de Pipenpoy, who was 100 years old.[1] Several of its members were admitted to the Seven Noble Houses of Brussels.
