Īvande Manor
historical manorial estate in Latvia
Īvande Manor (Latvian: Īvandes muižas pils), also called Lielīvande Manor (German: Schloß Groß-Iwanden), is a manor house in Īvande parish in Kuldīga municipality in the historical region of Courland, in western Latvia.
History
The manor Groß-Iwanden was created by the merger of several small estates. In the middle of the 16th century the estate was owned by the family of Rudolf Steinrat. The property remained in the Steinrat family for three generations and was enlarged by them. In 1643 it was sold to Hofmarschall Christof von Sacken. In 1646 the property was sold again, this time to Dettlof von Tiesenhausen. The estate was inherited in 1690 by Ernst Gotthard von Manteuffel-Szoege. There being no heirs, the property was sold in 1750 to Friedrich Johann von Schlippenbach on Gaicken, and Muischazeem. In 1821 property was sold to Peter von Medem. In 1853 the estate was resold to Baron Eduard von Heyking.

Why this record matters
“Īvande Manor” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Īvande, Manor and historical provides the most credible route into that argument.

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
