It was originally built as a one-story structure between 1820 and 1848.

Second World War.
[ 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.]
