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]
