'''Stende Manor''' ({{langx|lv|Stendes muižas pils}}), also called '''Dižstende Manor''', is a manor house in Lībagi Parish in Talsi Municipality in the historical region of Courland, in western Latvia.
==History== It was originally built as a one-story structure between 1820 and 1848.<ref name=LPMA>{{cite web|last=Latvijas Piļu un Muižu asociācija|title=Stendes (Dižstendes) muiža|url=http://www.pilis.lv/a_pnm/view.php?id=38&prop_id=211|publisher=Latvijas Piļu un Muižu asociācija|access-date=19 September 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131111121805/http://www.pilis.lv/a_pnm/view.php?id=38&prop_id=211|archive-date=11 November 2013}}</ref> A second story was added to the main building between 1848 and 1858. The manor was converted into apartments after 1925 and used so after the Second World War.<ref name=LPMA/> Stende Manor is one of the ancient Latvian and Talsi county estates, well-preserved to this day, because it is always occupied and maintained. Fragments of an earlier medieval castle can still be seen on the estate.<ref>{{cite book|last=Zarāns|first=Alberts|title=Latvijas pilis un muižas.
