Fürstenberg-Pürglitz
Fürstenberg-Pürglitz was a noble family hailing from southwestern Baden-Württemberg, Germany, which was seated at Křivoklát Castle () in Bohemia. Fürstenberg-Pürglitz emerged as a non-ruling branch of the princely House of Fürstenberg in 1762 following the death of Prince Joseph Wilhelm Ernst, and it inherited the principality after the princely line became extinct in 1804.
