Vandzene Manor (Latvian: Vandzenes muižas pils, German: Herrenhaus Wandsen) is a manor house in Vandzene Parish, Talsi Municipality in the historical region of Courland, in western Latvia.[1]

Vandzene manor is first mentioned in the 17th century. The manor ensemble was created for the family of Baron Heikings [de] in the middle of the 19th century. The manor park (17 ha) is one of the most typical Latvian landscape parks. In front of the manor palace is a front garden designed in 1937 by Andrejs Zeidaks, garden architect from Riga. Since 1937, Vandzene Secondary School, originally founded in 1866, has been located in the manor palace.[2][3]
