The Arz von Wasegg family (also Arz von Arzio-Wasegg, Arz von und zu Vasegg, and Arz-Vasegg) is an old South Tyrolean noble family.

History

[edit]

The family first appeared in a written document in 1007. They were noted as having estates there since at least 1472.[1] The family eventually became hereditary chamberlains of the Prince-Bishopric of Trient and were raised to the counthood in August 1648. In the 19th century, branches lived in Austria and Prussia.[2]
