Coat of arms of the Counts of Goess 1693

Goëss (also counts of Goëss, barons of Karlsberg and Moosburg ) is the name of a noble family from Portugal who came to Austria via Flanders . The Ritter von Goëss was admitted to the Austrian nobility in 1530 , and in 1632 to the rank of baron . The name of the male tribe, which died out in 1634, passed on to related families (in the female line) as a result of adoptions, initially to Johann de Trooch and from this to his nephew Johann Peter de Gheteren, who was made Count of Goëss in 1693 . The lines that are still in existence today and are mainly based in Carinthia originate from him .
