Nurmuiža Castle, also known as Nurmuiža Manor, is a historic castle and manor complex located in Lauciene Parish, Talsi Municipality, Latvia.

Built in the late 16th century on the site of an earlier Livonian-era stronghold, it is considered the largest and one of the oldest preserved manor complexes in Latvia. For centuries, the estate was owned by the influential von Fircks family and underwent several expansions and renovations, blending historic architecture with later classical design elements.

The extensive complex includes numerous historic buildings, parkland, and cultural heritage sites that reflect Latvia’s noble and rural past. Today, Nurmuiža Castle has been carefully restored and operates as a cultural and hospitality destination with accommodations, dining, and event facilities. Visitors are drawn to its elegant setting, well-preserved heritage, and picturesque countryside surroundings in the Courland region.
