Īvande Manor, also called Lielīvande Manor (Schloß Groß-Iwanden) was built in the second half of the 19th century according to a design by architect Teodors Zeilers. It was severely damaged by fire in 1905, but later repaired in 1912-1913. Unusual to estates in Latvia, an earlier 18th century manor house still stands nearby.
