Dursupe Manor (Latvian: Dursupes muižas pils, German: Dursuppen, Groß-Dursuppen) is a manor house located in the Talsi municipality, Balgale parish, in the historical region of Courland, western Latvia. Built in 1820,[1] it was reconstructed in the second half of the 19th century in Neo-Gothic style.
