Dursupe Manor (Latvian: Dursupes muižas pils, German: Dursuppen, Groß-Dursuppen) is a manor house located in the Dursupe [lv], Balgale Parish, Talsi Municipality, in the historical region of Courland, western Latvia.

History

The manor house was built in 1820 and was reconstructed in the second half of the 19th century in Neoclassical style. The manor complex also includes several granaries, a servant's house, a lime tree, a fork and a 6.7-hectare park with split beech.

At the beginning of the 19th century, it was owned by Prince Karl Christoph Lieven (1767-1844), the Russian Minister of Education (1828-1833), the founder of the Teacher Training Seminary. K. K. Liven is buried at Balgale Church.
