Rude manor (Rudes muiža) is located in Laidi parish, Kuldīga district Latvia.
In 1819 the estate became Firck family’s property. In 1882 Rude changed its owners again, and was bought by baron Paul von Manteuffel, who was its owner until the manor was expropriated in 1921. However, the Fircks family gave the most significant input creating the basis of the manor complex which has survived until this very day.

The simple, classically designed mansion was built at the beginning of the 19th century and has retained its original layout and façade. The two-storey building has 7 axles with a high hipped roof. As was often the case with properties built at the beginning of the 19th century, the ground floor is of low height and was reserved for industrial purposes. The Belle Etage, on the other hand, is spacious and has a corridor that runs through the whole length of the house. The impressive ceilings and beams are striking, and were either well-preserved, or renewed when necessary. Most of the original doors and double doors have survived, as have the floors which feature a lot of the original planks. This level of preservation extends further to the main building’s staircase.
